Major influences to the study of self-concept and delinquency based on Hirschi’s social bonding theory are reviewed. The data was collected from a sample of 100 Kurdish teens attending a Gülen affiliated school (Private Çaglayan Murat Anatolian Science High School in Şanlıurfa, Turkey) and 100 Kurdish teens attending a public (non- Gülen) school (The Public High School in Diyarbakır, Turkey). Involvement in major delinquency is dependent variable for this research project. A student is classified as a major delinquent if he or she reports having been involved in any major delinquent action - larceny equal to less than the cost of four pounds of baklava, larceny equal to more than the cost of four pounds of baklava, physically injuring another person, getting into a physical fight, breaking and entering a car, damaging property, and painting graffiti within the past twelve months- within the past twelve months. The components of social bonding attachment, involvement, commitment, and belief were used as independent variables. Participants’ age ranged between 16 to 18 years. I hypothesize that the relation between the social bonding elements and delinquency should be stronger in the case of Kurdish adolescents who are more attached to conventional Turkish society. Results from binary logistic regression analyses indicate that in the absence of bonding, Kurdish teenagers tend to engage in major delinquent activities. For further exploration and results, the Gülen movement was examined as an independent variable.Sebahattin ZİYANAKFırat Universityarticledelinquencyhirschisocial bonding theorykurdish teenagersthe gülen movement: turkeySocial SciencesHSocial sciences (General)H1-99DEENFRTRJournal of Academic Social Science Studies , Vol 7, Iss 24, Pp 319-338 (2019)
