This study examines the relationships among families, peers, and                delinquency by specifying and testing a structural-interactionist               theory of delinquent behavior.  The key process within this perspective         is role taking, the mechanism by which groups control the behavior of           individuals, and which, consequently, links social structure to                 individual action.  The concept of role taking or reflective appraisal          is operationalized and used to help explain how parents, peers and              teachers influence the moral and unlawful behavior of adolescents.  The         causal mechanisms of conventional theories, are shown to be special             cases of a structural-interactionist perspective; this nested structure         provides a way of testing the proposed theory against competing                 explanations.  Data for the empirical analysis come from the 1976-1980          National Youth Survey, a longitudinal dataset collected on a national           sample of adolescents, aged 11-17.  Two kinds of models, each                   incorporating the processes of roletaking, differential association,            and social control, are specified, estimated, and tested.  The first, a         conventional panel model of delinquency treats the individual as the            unit of analysis, and seeks to explain variation in delinquency across          persons and over time.  The second, a family model of delinquency,              treats the sibling pair as the unit of analysis, and attempts to                account for both the common variation (covariation) in delinquent               behavior for pairs of siblings as well as the variation in delinquent           behavior across different pairs of siblings.
