Från vagga till häkte. En systematisk litteraturstudie kring föräldraskapets påverkan på ungas brottslighet
Abstract
Background: In the current scientific landscape within systematic reviews concerning the
effects of parental factors on juvenile delinquency there is a noticeable bias towards studies
that have been performed in a North American context.
Aim: Compiling the research regarding parental factors' influence on youth in a Nordic
context.
Method: A systematic review of 11 scientific articles The data from the articles was
compiled and then put through a thematic analysis in which they were sorted into a number of
sub-themes. To find the articles that were used in the thesis, a literature database called
Proquest was used.
Result: The compilation and analysis of the data resulted in the creation of two different
themes dubbed "internal factors" and "external factors" each with three additional sub-themes
within them. These sub-themes included "The relationship between the parent and the youth",
Confidence and perception about parenthood" and "Violence within the family" were
included as internal factors while "Parents' socioeconomic situation", "The parents' academic
resources" as well as "Parents participation in society" were included within the external
factor theme.
Conclusion: From the results it could be concluded that several factors found in the Nordic
research were similar to those identified in the earlier research made in the North American
context. However certain risk factors were relatively unique to the Nordic research such as
the father being active in community activities.
