Abstract
In this paper we examine, the relative influence of parents, peers and teachers on males' and females' delinquent proclivity. Much has been written on peer and parental influences on adolescent behavior (Jensen, 1972; Cohen, 1955; Liska, 1969; Williams, 1972; Herriott, 1963; Brookover and Thomas, 1962); and recent evidence assigns more and more importance to school structure and teacher attitudes as important determinants of adolescent behavior (Kelly and Balch, 1971; Kelly, 1971; Kelly and Pink, 1972; Kelly, 1974; Rhodes and Reiss, 1969; Polk and Schafer, 1972). Herriot (1963) and Brookover and Thomas (1962) found that adolescents' perceptions of the expectations of parents, peers and teachers significantly influenced their educational aspirations .
