TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - The timing of delinquent behavior and its implications for after‐school programs JO - Criminology and public policy A1 - Gottfredson, Denise C. A1 - Gottfredson, Gary D.

Results imply that the after-school hours are a time of elevated delinquency, but that the peak is modest compared with that observed in official records. Additionally, children who are unsupervised during the after-school hours - the primary target population for after-school programs - are found to be more delinquent at all times, not only after-school.
