The article suggests parents who spend more time away from home have less of an ability to observe and keep track of their children's behaviour. The article states a study was done that a town with more bars leads to deviance in children because of the time spent at the bars by parents. I believe If parents are spending their time at the bar, this obviously leaves children with free time to do what they please. The idea of parents occupying their time drinking at the bar leads to the curiosity of doing so by children.
I believe youth's access of alcohol is a leading cause of deviancy, adolescents living in an area with greater densities of off-premise alcoholic bars participate in greater deviant behaviours. The article talks about how areas with greater densities of off-premise alcoholic bars have lower level of parents monitoring their child's behaviour, making it easier for adolescents to begin substance abuse.
This is a photo of adults enjoying a beer. I believe this photo relates to parental influence on deviant behaviour because if children observe their parents drinking beer or any other substance as a positive behaviour they may be curious to do the same.
