With a survey data of 1,602 middle- and high school students nationwide, the effects of four endogenous factors - family bond, school satisfaction, delinquent peers and extra-curricula activities upon delinquence experience are estimates. The effects of two intervening factors - visit to entertainment shops and online activities are also estimates.
