In investigating if teacher relationships moderate the effects of harsh parenting on adolescent criminality, results indicated that surprisingly, youth who experienced harsh parenting but a strong teacher bond were more likely to offend six months later. The implications are discussed as it relates to reducing offending in an at-risk population.
