Family Life Cycle as an Independent Variable

Abstract

degree of urbanization controlled, white delinquents have a comparatively smaller proportion of girls and pre-adolescents than Negro delinquents. For example, in the highly urbanized counties, the pre-adolescent delinquency rate is 36 per cent of the adolescent delinquency rate for white boys; the corresponding statistic is 55 per cent for Negro boys. Similarly, the adolescent delinquency rate for white girls is 18 per cent of the adolescent delinquency rate for white boys, whereas the corresponding statistic for Negroes is 30 per cent. Within each group of counties, three Negro-white comparisons are possible, twelve in all. All twelve show male adolescents bulking larger among whites.
