"Drawing on social control, social learning, and general strain theories, it was hypothesised that the quality of a parent-child relationship would be negatively related to adult crime. In addition, it was predicted that relationship quality would more strongly impact the criminal behaviour of single parents, teenage parents, and those with prior criminal records. Data from the National Youth Survey was analysed using a combination of probit and truncated regression. Results provided partial support for hypotheses."
