Reconsidering the Effect of Self-Control and Delinquent Peers (2009, background): “Research has subsequently indicated that regardless of whether self-control is measured behaviorally or attitudinally, it is a strong predictor of crime (Evans et al. 1997; Pratt and Cullen 2000; Tittle, Ward, and Grasmick 2003).”
Low Self-Control and Police Deviance: Applying Gottfredson and Hirschi’s General Theory to Officer Misconduct (2014, background): “(Tittle et al., 2003), (6) ever divorced or separated (Simpson & Piquero, 2002; Tittle et al.”
