Background: Juvenile delinquency characterized by unsociable behavior that is away from parental control and subjected
to right action or violation of the law committed by juvenile and not punishable by death or life custody. Many studies have
established a clear correlation between lack of control and violate. A lack of control is also combined to poor interrelationship
between children and parents.
Aim: The objectives of the study were to assess and compare IPR score with parents among case (delinquent children) and
control group (non-delinquent children) and to determine the association of IPR score with selected variables among case and
control. The conceptual framework of the study was based on general system theory.
Methodology: The research approach adopted for the study was quantitative and design was non-experimental retrospective
(case and control) design. 120 participants were selected using total enumerative sampling for (60 children from delinquent
home) case group and convenience sampling based on matching (age) and homogeneity (gender) for (60 children from
government school) control group. The tool used for the study consisted of structured performa regarding selected variables
(demographic, conduct and specific IPR variable) andModifiedWashington state Juvenile Court Assessment Scale to assess IPR
with paper and pencil technique from participants and interview technique from parents (conduct variable). Data collection
was done in December 2017. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data.
Results: The findings of the study revealed that mean IPR score in case (Delinquent children) group was significantly lower
than control (non-delinquent children) group (70.83 vs. 74.58: t=4.74, p=0.01) which inferred control group (non-delinquent
children) had better IPR with parents. Further significant association was found between IPR score and selected variables i.e.,
youth occupation (p-0.002), father education (p-0.05) in case group and religion (p-0.02), place of residence (p-0.008) and
youth was raised by single parents (p-0.04) in control group.
Conclusion & Significance: It was concluded from the study that control (non-delinquent children) group had better IPR
than case (delinquent children) group. Hence, there was a significant impact of strained IPR on delinquency among children
residing in delinquent home.
