Marleau, Jacques D.; Webanck, Thierry – Adolescence, 1997
Reports on the discovery of a positive correlation between the rates for parricide and criminal violence in Canada.

Snyder, Scott – Adolescence, 1995
Reviews aspects of the epidemiology and criminology of delinquency and how they have been reflected in American films. Analyses show that when movies mimic certain aspects of the viewer's environment, an interactive or "resonating" effect may occur, such that young viewers may be more likely to commit delinquent acts.
