From the Paper:

"Preventing juvenile delinquency has become a major concern in the past several decades, with juvenile crime seemingly on the rise and no one seems to have a clear sense of what to do about it. Some immediately blame the dissolution and transformation of the traditional family structure and call for traditional values and community involvement to prevent further delinquency (Hil, 1998). In fact, some studies have indicated that the family can be a causal factor in delinquency. Researchers have found that the general level of cohesiveness among non-traditional families is a good predictor of juvenile delinquency - though that proved not to be the case for traditional families (Matherne and Thomas, 2001). Of course, there's also extensive research that links delinquency and substance abuse (Delinquency linked, 2002)."
