N2  - The current research explores parent-child connections and the extent to which parental thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and behaviors toward their children impact progress on probation. Using a convenience sample of 88 parents, the Juvenile Offender Parent Questionnaire is used to measure parents' perceptions of their children and the juvenile justice system. The results of the questionnaire are examined to identify if negative parental perceptions influence each youth's progress on probation. The findings indicate that parental monitoring, anger toward children, the presence of negative home behaviors, and maintaining passing grades are consistent significant predictors of reoffending patterns of juvenile probationers.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
