Corrative Research Design And Quasi-Experimental Design

First, I feel very confortable with the sampling technique, as I believe that some variables such as gender and ethnicity needed to be considered in order to get a better picture of the study. For instance, employment and family support are big factors that could have influenced the outcome of the study. The sampling needed to be specific, which having strata was a good option. In regards to design, I believe, that the research design I selected was a good option for this study. It would be highly unethical to assigned non-offenders to the group who is court-mandated just for the purpose of this study. However, a time series design could have been appropriate for this study too. Time series design could have work for this study because if the groups were observed in different stages of the study, some valuable information could have been obtained. For instance, if some subjects had employment in the middle of the study but then lost it, they could have influence the outcome due to the lack of income or even just by not being motivated to attend as they lost their job. Therefore, measuring participants’ attitude towards treatment with a different known scale could have been beneficial as

Establishing positive parenting skills within the community will assist the parents in gaining new alternatives to their current practices. “Often we get the same families that are repeat offenders or they never really learn their ways of parenting are not acceptable” (Ruiz, 2015). Providing the “Strong Families” curriculum will reduce the number of children that are

This research is important because understanding what makes a juvenile delinquent is necessary to know. Parents can be educated on what is affecting their teen to contribute to delinquent behavior. The family structure has been avoided by many citizens. Educating the public on the family structure can make a different in a teen’s life.

With over three hundred million Americans and over six billion people worldwide parenting skills are essential to maintain a healthy society. Parenting involves many aspects and requires many skills. It is a time to nurture, instruct, and correct to develop fundamental skills children will need to be mature, responsible, and contributing adults to a society. There are four commonly identified parenting styles; authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved parenting. Of the four parenting styles, two remain on opposite ends of the parenting spectrum. These two styles; authoritarian, and permissive both have deleterious results that are often visible throughout different developmental stages, such as rebellious behavior. As well

Raising sons in single-parent households makes the mothers of Wes and Wes very influential on their children. Parenting can give minors a pathway to success or it can be a substantial risk factor for behavior issues: “Lack of parental involvement, poor monitoring and supervision, and harsh and inconsistent discipline, have all been established as strong predictors of antisocial outcomes in children and adolescents” (Hawes). While neither mother is able to adequately supervise their children due to their working statuses, Joy

How beneficial or detrimental is the effects of parenting from the penal system for the children and families involved? How much of an influence is the effects of parenting from the penal system is affecting the child’s developmental skills? Is parenting from the penal system, exposing the children to the risk factors that may increase the chances of them being incarcerated? These are the typical questions and concerns that are being questioned when researchers are gathering their conclusion.

In 1991 mothers with newborns were recruited from hospitals at 10 different data collection from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development across the United States (Vazsonyi, 2010).Their mainly focused was when the child was 4.5 years, 8.5, and 10.5 from the 1,155 families that were recruited. For instance, all those cases were review yearly to focus on the behavior if the child was engaging any misbehavior within the years. For example, if single parents were going to have more issues controlling their children misconduct or has they are getting older was the probability for them to change. However, they used different scales to evaluate. For example, descriptive statistics of the study construct a scale score that mothers will complete to include a self-control analysis, another scale was about the correlations among the parent’s self-control and deviance. Also, they tested if at

The authors, in Preventing Juvenile Delinquency: Early Intervention and Comprehensiveness as Critical Factors., use determine factors of different programs, and to see what works and what does not. In this way, the most successful programs can continue to be implemented and improved. They looked at poor child-rearing practices, poor parental supervision, criminal parents and siblings, low family income, large family size, poor housing, low intelligence, and low educational attainment to determine cause of delinquency behavior in juvenile.

In the article "Father's methods of child disciplines does incarceration lead to harsh and physical punishment? A research note by Elizabeth Ehrhardt Mustaine & Richard Tewksbury found that parents who had been incarcerated are correlated with child violence, deviants and criminal behaviors in childhood and adulthood. Mustaine and Tewksbury claim, parents used harsh and physical punishment affect children's emotional, psychological, physical and financial which they can support their argument with evidence. Mustaine and Tewksbury use different rhetorical strategies to support their argument by establishing ethos, reason, strong details and non-textual items such as tables by explaining what they have found in their study.

For this week’s research assignment, the class was asked to review one of two articles. I chose Gottfredson and Soule’s article “The timing of property crime, violent crime, and substance use among juveniles (2005). The authors wanted to further examine if there was a correlation in delinquent time through various hours throughout the day. More specifically, they wanted to narrow down the crimes into specific groups, which were: property crimes, violent crimes and substance use among the juvenile population. In examining this article, we will focus on the research design that was utilized, data-gathering strategy, sampling method, dependent/independent variables, and the findings of the study that was embarked upon.

The purpose of this paper is to determine if there is a link between the influences in a minors’ life and the delinquent behavior they are committing. Juvenile delinquency is the habitual committing of criminal acts or offenses by a young person, especially one below the age at

From research, one of the most controversial studies on child deviant behavior involved the parents and/or guardians acting as the key component of informal social control. When a family separation occurs, there are no mechanisms in place to control children from becoming involved in antisocial behavior and a broken home is a strong indicator of a child’s law violating activities. A broken home is defined as a

In the early 1960s, psychologist Diana Baumrid conducted a research, analyzing child-parent behavior, seeking to identify parenting styles. The Baumrid study and other further studies identified four main styles of parenting (Miller, 2010): the authoritative parenting style was characterized by fair rules and consequences; The Authoritarian parenting style was characterized by strict rules and harsh punishment; the permissive parenting style was characterized by minimal rules with little or no consequences; the uninvolved parenting style was characterized by no rules, and parent presence was almost non-existent. In this paper, I’m going to look at the authoritarian style of parenting in an attempt to draw out its characteristics and its immediate and later impacts on children impact.

Characteristically, juvenile delinquency follows a similar path just like normal adolescent development and children tend to follow delinquent and criminal behavior rather than engaging in it randomly. Research has shown that there are two types of delinquents, those in whom the onset of severe antisocial behavior begins in early childhood, and those in whom this onset coincides with entry into adolescence. With either type, these developmental paths give families, communities, and systems the opportunity to intervene and prevent the onset of antisocial behaviors and justice system involvement (APA, 2017).

In order to conduct the research, twenty-nine children and their families were selected from 426 different areas within England, Wales and Scotland. Some parents refused to take part in the research, while 76% agreed to be interviewed (Meltzer et al. 2009). The research that was organized determined that the violence affects different age groups and sexes in different ways.
