This research work is carried out in order to investigate childrearing styles on in-school adolescent deviant bevehaviour in Ilorin metropolis. This study sought to determine the parenting childrearing styles on in-school adolescent on the basis on democratic, authoritarians, authoritative and laise faire styles (Ilorin metropolis).

Five research hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 alpha level of significance, data collected were analyzed through analysis of variance (ANOVA). From the finding, the study revealed that parental childrearing style can influence in-school adolescents to deviant behavior when children are not allowed to do wrong thing, the wishes of children are treated with maturity and when the children are allowed to express their feelings among others and there were no significant differences in the influence of parental childrearing on in-school adolescent deviant behaviour in Ilorin metropolis on the basis of gender, educational qualification, age, religion and family type.
