Something Old, Something New: A Preliminary Investigation of Hirschi’s Redefined Self‐Control (2007, unknown): “1 Many empirical tests of the theory have been carried out with a variety of sampling frames including the general population (Grasmick, Tittle, Bursik, & Arneklev, 1993; Greenberg, Tamarellii, & Kelley, 2002), panel studies (Polakowski, 2004), birth cohorts (Wright, Caspi, Moffitt, & Silva, 1999), ”

Causes of School Bullying (2011, background): “Though numerous studies examined the key propositions of low self-control theory, relatively few studies explored the relative effect of low self-control on criminal and analogous behaviors, after including other criminological perspectives (Baron, 2003).”
