More than 50 years ago, sociologists Sheldon and Eleanor Glueck and Joan and William McCord proposed that delinquency may have more to do with family process than with family structure.
Next, select one of the family process factors (parenting styles, parental supervision, parental deviance, and parental attachment) that you believe is most important and summarize what the research has found with respect to its impact on delinquency.
Finally, provide your reasoning for which of these (structure or process) is more important or if you believe they are equally important. Describe how each of your factors may interact to offset the other or to worsen (or improve) the circumstance with respect to the likelihood of the occurrence of delinquency.
