The present study posuions constructs of five popular criminological/sociological theories into an integrated or multiple theory model to investigate the causation of delinquency. The model was testedon a sample(N=532) of males and females who were being detained in a county juvenile facility. The theories of differential association and anomie contributed the most to the model while social control and self-esteem theories contributed the least, leaving the labeling theory to contribute a moderate portion to the explanation of delinquency. The model indicated that the more anomie youths and those experiencing less social control were more likely to associate I with delinquent peers resulting in higher labeling and lower self-esteem. A comprehensive model of delinquency is better structured to depict the sequential and progressive attraction toward delinquent involvement than single theory models.

This paper offers both a review and critique of past desegregation studies. many of which have not provided concrete strategies for improving integration efforts in schools. In part, much of the desegregation literature relies on assimilationist notions of schooling that see desegregation as successful by its attempt to influence (change) minority students' values through increased exposure to majority student norms. Yet important issues such as high drop out rates, hostile racial climates, long bus rides, and stagnant academic achievement point out concerns in the desegregation effort. In order to improve academic and social climates in desegregated schools, both the realities and potentials of busing, as a social policy, must be challenged.
