They are more likely to be in the medium category when their mother is a
frequent alcohol user. For boys the paternal role model is
significant in distinguishing between no and sometimes or frequent delinquency.
Girls and boys in technical and especially in vocational education are more likely to be in
the frequent delinquency category than adolescents in
general education. When boys report a difficult financial
situation of their parents, their likelihood of delinquency
increases. For girls, the negative effect of living in a stepfamily on delinquency remains statistically significant in the full model, but for boys there is no longer an effect of
family type after inclusion of the other variables.
