Abstract
ABSTRACT Using data from three waves of the Buffalo Longitudinal Study of Young Men with a probability sample of 625 males aged 16-19, the impact of substance use on adolescent maturing out of delinquency was assessed. Specifically, the study focused on the effect of substance use on delinquency desistence and delinquency reduction. The findings indicate that the prevalence and the level of substance use significantly and negatively affect delinquency desistence and delinquency reduction, which implies that substance use significantly impairs adolescents ability to mature out of delinquency and merge into mainstream society.
