Planning Programs for Prevention of Deviant Behavior: A Psychosocial Model. Oetting, E. R. Drugs and Society; 1992, 6, 3 4, 313 344., 1992.
abstract   bibtex   
A psychosocial model of deviancy based on peer cluster theory \& aimed at the prevention of deviant behaviors is presented. It is theorized that: deviant attitudes \& behaviors are psychosocial in origin; adolescence is a crucial time in the development of deviance; deviant attitudes result from socialization; the influence of secondary socialization forces ie, community, religion, peers, media is mediated by primary socialization forces, eg, the family \& school; \& weak bonds between the child, the family, \&/or the school increase the chances that the child will become a member of a deviant peer cluster. It is suggested that prevention programs should strive to promote strong bonds between primary socialization forces \& the child so that nondeviant norms can be effectively communicated. Suggestions for planning prevention programs in accord with the proposed model are offered. 2 Figures, 65 References. Adapted from the source document.
