This study examined the causal relationship between substance use and delinquency. Subjects were 596 males aged 1 to 19 from buffalo, new york, Two interviews were conducted 18 months apart. Cross - lagged and synchronous structural equations panel models were fit both early and late onset of delinquency groups with five types of delinquency : minor, general, serious, property, and violent offenses. The results showed a significant difference between early - onset and late - onset groups concerning the relationship between substance use and delinquency. Early - onset models showed no causal relationship between substance use and delinquency. The late - onset models showed that minor offenses have significant lagged and synchronous positive effects on drug use, drug use exhibited sigificant lagged and synchronous positive effects on general offenses, and drinking has significant lagged and synchronous negaive effects on property offenses. The implications of these findings are discussed.
