Jonathon's study is flawed because it does not consider that family history might come together with other factors that may also contribute to juvenile delinquency. It is possible that there are other factors that contribute to the likelihood of becoming a juvenile delinquent besides having parents with a criminal record. Therefore, it is important to consider other factors and not just family history when examining juvenile delinquency.
