He and his team found that 26% of the link between callous\/unemotional traits and delinquent behaviour could be explained by the young offenders\u2019 association with delinquent peers. But the influence of delinquent peers disappeared when parental warmth and supervision were present.<\/p>\n<p>But the effect occurred only when parental warmth and supervision were both present. Parental warmth without supervision actually strengthened the links between callous\/unemotional traits, association with delinquent peers and delinquent behaviour. It appears that warm but permissive parenting makes matters worse.<\/p>\n<p>This study highlights the importance of parenting in managing youthful offenders, particularly young offenders who associate with delinquent peers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"retrofit-references\">\n<h4>References<\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 1.8em;\"><em> Ray JV, Frick PJ, Thornton LC, Wall Myers TD, Steinberg L &amp; Cauffman E (2016), <a href=\"http:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/psycinfo\/2016-49565-001\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Callous\u2013unemotional traits predict self-reported offending in adolescent boys: The mediating role of delinquent peers and the moderating role of parenting practices<\/a>, Developmental Psychology<\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parental warmth and strong parental supervision reduce link between a lack of remorse, guilt and empathy and later delinquent behaviour by young offenders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":3080,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5774,438],"tags":[45,474,448,267,48],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/childandfamilyblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3076"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/childandfamilyblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/childandfamilyblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/childandfamilyblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/childandfamilyblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3076"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/childandfamilyblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3076\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18138,"href":"https:\/\/childandfamilyblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3076\/revisions\/18138"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/childandfamilyblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3080"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/childandfamilyblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/childandfamilyblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3076"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/childandfamilyblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
