Abstract
Abstract The relationship between social class and four measures of deviance was examined within the context of schools with predominantly upper‐middleclass. middle‐class, and working‐class populations. The hypothesis that there would be significant inverse relationships between social class and rates of deviant behavior within working‐class but not upper‐middle‐ or middle‐class schools was not supported by our data. There also was no consistent support found for the hypothesis that working‐class schools should have higher rates of deviance. The fact that even when we contextualize the social class/delinquency relationship we fail to find a significant inverse relationship, further confirms the conclusion that social class does not appear to be an important predictor of delinquency.
