This study is a research synthesis that aims to explain the possible connection between the attachment in parent and child relationship and antisocial/ deviant behaviour.The purpose is to chart and discuss how previous science views the attachments effect on the risk of developing antisocial behaviour. The issue of this study is following: Can the attachment between parent and child affect the risk of developing antisocial behaviour? Which attachment pattern is specifically riskful and why is that? The data in this study is based on earlier research collected from databases such as Psycinfo and Sociological Abstract etc. The results from different studies and articles are analysed by Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory.The results show that there is a possible connection between attachment and the development of antisocial behaviour, but there are also indicators that show that there are more factors that play a role in the risk of developing antisocial behaviour such as environmental and structural factors. In other words, attachment affects the risk, but there are also other indicators that enlarge the risks of developing antisocial or deviant behaviour. Avoidant and anxious/ ambivalent attachment are two attachment styles that previous studies have found to have an increased risk to develop antisocial and deviant behaviour.
