Peer Pressure, Peer Prevention: The Role of Friends in Crime and Conformity

by Barbara J Costello, Trina Hope, Trina L Hope, et al.

Book Overview

Criminological research has largely neglected the possibility that positive peer influence is a potentially powerful source of social control. Quantitative methods tease out cause, effect, and spuriousness in the relationship between peer delinquency and personal delinquency, but these methods do little or nothing to reveal　how and why　peers might influence each other toward--or away from--deviance.
