Researchers have long examined the extent to which parents and peers influence delinquent behavior of youth. However, only few studies have paid attention to the connection between parents and peers. Because peers have the strong influence on youth's delinquent behavior, it is important to explain how the relationship with parents has the effect on youth's relationship with peers and delinquent behaviors. In this present study, it is argued that attachment to parents and parental supervision will act as a protective factor against the influence of delinquent peers and reduce the delinquent involvement of youth. In order to test this argument, the data were collected from 3742 high school students in Izmir and Tobit regression models were used to analyze the data. The results have shown that attachment to parents and supervision were negatively associated with having a more delinquent peers. Additionally, although delinquent peers were positively associated with youth's involvement in delinquency, attachment to parents and supervision were negatively associated with youth's involvement in delinquency. These results show the importance of parenting in the explanation of delinquency among youth.
