Abstract: Based on a survey of 2188 adolescents (age=12.97 years, SD=0.62) and their parents, this study examined the combined effects of neighborhood, parents, and peers on adolescent problem behaviors. Results from structural equation model indicated that neighborhood crime, neighborhood social cohesion and neighborhood disorder influenced adolescent problem behaviors via parental monitoring and affiliation with deviant peers; Furthermore, neighborhood crime manifested its effect by influenced adolescent problem behaviors directly. An interaction effect were found between parental monitoring and deviant peers on problem behaviors. As the rise of parental monitoring, the effect of deviant peers on problem behaviors were weaken. For boys, the effects of neighborhood crime, parental monitoring, and affiliation with deviant peers on problem behaviors were larger than for girls.

Key words: neighborhood crime, neighborhood social cohesion and neighborhood disorder, parental monitoring, affiliation with deviant peers, problem behaviors
