The answer is true. As stated by Hagan, “As mothers gain power comparative to husbands, daughters gain liberty relative to sons.” Over the egalitarian family structure, daughters are understood as more equal and can go in the workforce. Since not as much of control is applied on the daughter in the egalitarian family, they are given more possibility to take part in delinquent behavior, just as the sons are in patriarchal families. But, boys are still more probable to get involve in dangerous behavior. And the opposite of this goes to the patriarchal structure.

Answer from: firenation18

Yes, this is true, and can be seen in the power control theory made by John Hagan. In this theory, patriarchal families are one with the father having full control over the family. In egalitarian families, the rules are reversible and the tendency would be that the mother would exert less control on their daughters than their sons. This would be a factor in the delinquency rate of girls that grow up in egalitarian families.

elizabeth loftus conducted a study to observe the reliability of eyewitnesses during the 1970s. their baseline was to define how accurate are the recollections of eyewitnesses.

her studies do not support the use of eyewitness. loftus mentions in her work that we are not required to recall some experiences, meaning that rarely an individual eyewitness testimony is trustworthy. a good example is presented in her work, where all individuals watched a video and were than asked "about how fast were the cars going when they hit/smash? ". the testimonies changed based on the word she used to make the question (hit or smash), proving the fragility.
