Abstract: For many years theorists have referred to adolescent deviance under the delinquency rubric. There appears, however, to be evidence that there is more than one type of adolescent deviance. This thesis argues that there are at least two types of adolescent deviance: delinquency and rebellion. These types are distinguished by the domain of deviance within which the act occurs and the motivation for committing the deviant act. Results indicate that this relationship is more true of females than males. Implications for integrated, generality, and feminist theories are discussed and future considerations are offered.
