Previous research on homeless adolescents has largerly ignored the distinction between those who have left home on their volition (runaways) and those who have been forced to leave (throwaways). Fifty - two homeless adolescents in brisbane, australia, were assessed to compare male and female runaways and throwaways for social adjustment and symtpomatology. Differences for social adjustment )antisocial tendencies and aggression) and symptomatology (social isolation and depression) were predicted. Results indicated that male runaways were significantly more hostile than male throwaways (p < 0,001), and significantly more socially isolated than female runaways (p < 0,025). Female throwaways, however, were significantly more hostila than male throwaways (p < 0,025) and female runaways (p < 0,025). Yet homeless males overall had a significantly stronger urge to act out hostility than homeless females (p < 0,025). In addition, female throwaways were significantly more antisocial than male throwaways (p < 0,001). There were no significant differences for depression. A theory of inner social control (hirschi, 1969), postulating absence of bonding in earlier socialization, was supported.
