  Abstract
This study examined the ability of early risk factors to predict delinquency referrals. Significant risk factors included externalizing behaviors, prenatal smoking, parent marital status, and mother’s education. Students with three or more risk factors had eight times the number of delinquency referrals than those with no identified risk factors.
