Kretschmer, Tina; Vollebergh, Wilma; Oldehinkel, Albertine J. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2017

This instigation is likely to stem from the impairment of parental control arising from parental abuse, with respect to social control theory. For the substantiation of this likelihood, the present study surveyed 229 users of youth social work…
