Abstract
An important assumption of the general theory of crime is that juveniles who are weakly supervised by their parents and/or have only weak attachment to their parents should have low self-control. Thus, juveniles are more delinquent when they have low self-control. The family socialization probably has a direct effect on the delinquent behavior of juveniles. In addition, this effect is mediated through self-control.
