    Abstract: Develops an interactionist explanation of gender differences in the processes leading to juvenile delinquency. Drawing on principles of symbolic interactionism, a theoretical model is specified that generates predictions about similarities and differences across gender in the relationships between commitment to reference groups, role-taking, and delinquency. Hypotheses are tested using data from a national sample of 1,636 youths. An interactionist theory of delinquency is supported for both females and males. Findings also show gender differences in the role-taking process leading to delinquency. Findings suggest an important difference in the process by which group social controls are transformed into self- control in delinquent situations among girls as compared with boys.
