Abstract: The purpose of this study is to test empirically the hypothesis that parents child-rearing, such as attachment, communication, supervision, and punishment would be effected on juvenile delinquency. The data used in this study are drawn from a self-reported survey conducted in Seoul, in 2000. The sample consists of a total of 1,012, middle and high school students aged between 12 and 21. To examine the causal relationship between parents child-rearing and self-reported criminal behavior, we used Joreskog and Sorbom's LISREL Ⅷ. The hypothesis was supported. From our study, it is implied that future research should attempt to develop a more refined model on the relationship between child-rearing and crime, and to elaborate the measures on the major concepts such as parental child rearing, and criminal behavior.
