abstract="The basic proposition examined here is that school experience is an important factor in understanding delinquency but that before this statement can be examined, it is necessary to elaborate an institutional theory which weaves together family-school-adult work role linkages. Secondary data and findings drawn from an ongoing cohort study of 284 adolescent males in the Pacific Northwest are used to show that adult success is related to school success, school success is related to family status characteristics, school status and social class exert independent effects on delinquency, and that adult careers, both successful and deviant, are functions of adolescent school and delinquency labels.
