Abstract
Historically, the family has been the target for early detection, treatment, and prevention of delinquency and crime. Values, standards for behavior, and skills of social influence and achievement are learned in the family, and evidence is now mounting that criminal/delinquent behavior has partial roots there (Coull, Geismar, & Waff, 1982; Druckman, 1979; Emshoff & Blakely, 1983; Fischer, 1983; Parsons & Alexander, 1973; Rutter & Giller, 1984; Stuart, 1971).
