Family factors presented more influence for younger adolescents, whereas deviant peers showed more influence for older adolescents. The structural equation modelling results indicated significant mediation effects for both age cohorts.

The aim of the current study was to analyse in two age cohorts the presence of mediation effects of parenting practices (i.e., parental knowledge, parental support, parent-adolescent conflict) through deviant peers on youth antisocial behaviour (i.e., nonviolent antisocial behaviour, violent behaviour).
