abstract="Little is known about the delinquency and social relations of adolescents who lack close friendships. This study compares the delinquency of &quot;loners&quot; and &quot;nonloners,&quot; explores group differences within the larger social context of peers, family, and school, and assesses the efficacy of loner status as a distinct dimension of peer relationships. The findings indicate that loners are less delinquent than nonloners are, but there are nevertheless negative circumstances associated with being a loner.
