The data collected were analysed, using Pearson's Product Moment Correlation at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that there was a positive significant relationship between parental education and delinquent behaviour (r= .426, p < 0.05). There was a significant relationship between parental income and delinquent behaviour (r- .365, p < 0.05). There was significant relationship between parental occupation and delinquent behaviour (r =.429** p < 0.05).
