| Popis: | THE AIM of this study was to carry out a retrospective evaluation of data on admissions to a youth training centre in Victoria, Australia, to determine the relationship between birth order and risk of delinquency. The findings confirmed the results of other studies (e.g. Biles, 1971) that middle children were at greatest risk. Other factors associated with ‘risk’ were large family size and educational retardation. |
