Abstract: 

The 1940s saw two landmarks in the attempts to unravel the psychosocial origins of antisocial behaviour and delinquency in childhood: the first consisted of clinical research and linked separation from mothers with juvenile delinquency (Bowlby, 1946); the second was based on multivariate analyses and this gave rise to a suggested association between different types of antisocial behaviour with different kinds of family patterns (Hewitt and Jenkins, 1949).
