This study examined the relations between specific aspects of parenting (parental monitoring, parent values, and parent antisocial behaviors) and youth-reported overt and covert delinquency. Participants were 186 adolescents, ages 10-17 (9% females, 65% African American) who had been arrested for both misdemeanors and more serious charges and involved in the Lucas County Juvenile Justice System at the time of data collection. Parental monitoring, parent values, parent antisocial behaviors, overt and covert delinquent acts were measured via adolescent- report. Parental monitoring was found to fully mediate the effects of parent values for both overt and covert delinquency. Adolescent-report of their parents’ engagement in antisocial behaviors was not found to be a significant predictor of participants’ overt or covert delinquency. Future research might benefit from using a latent class analysis approach to define subtypes of delinquent behaviors or trajectories before investigating how these more refined subtypes of behaviors are related to parental values, parent antisocial behaviors, and parental monitoring.
