TESTING A BAYESIAN LEARNING THEORY OF DETERRENCE AMONG SERIOUS JUVENILE OFFENDERS (2011, background): “Findings from the literature dealing with this interaction of criminal propensity are mixed, with some studies concluding that those with low self-control are perhaps less deterrable by increased sanction threats (Nagin and Paternoster, 1993; Nagin and Pogarsky, 2004; Piquero and Tibbetts, 1996) whe”
In the Eye of the Impulsive Beholder (2009, background): “Some researchers have found that the influence of impulsivity (Pogarsky, 2002) and self-control ( Wright, Caspi, Moffitt, & Paternoster, 2004 ) is less pronounced when individuals perceive higher levels of deterrence.”
Modeling Change in Perceptions about Sanction Threats: The Neglected Linkage in Deterrence Theory (2004, result): “This finding is generally consistent with a recent study by Wright et al. (2004) , who found that individuals with low self-control are more responsive to deterrence variables than are their counterparts with high self-control.”
Legitimacy and Criminal Justice: The Benefits of Self-Regulation (2009, background): “The particular value I will focus on is legitimacy (for a broader discussion of social motivations, see Tyler, forthcoming).”
A review and analysis of deterrence theory in the IS security literature: making sense of the disparate findings (2011, background): “There is a counterargument, however, and some evidence that the deterrent effect of sanctions is not contingent on selfcontrol (Wright et al, 2004; Cochran et al, 2008).”
Attention Felons: Evaluating Project Safe Neighborhood in Chicago (2007, unknown): “Wright et al. (2004) summarize four different deterrence perspectives that address this question.”
The Impact of Community Disadvantage on the Relationship between the Family and Juvenile Crime (2006, methodology): “A number of studies have supported this reasoning, finding that co-occurring risks for crime interact to amplify overall levels of crime (Lynam et al. 2000; Tibbetts and Piquero 1999; Wright et al. 2001, 2004).”
Sanctions, Perceived Anger, and Criminal Offending (2004, background): “Wright et al. (2004) continued this line of research by showing how perceived sanction threats related to criminal offending under varying levels of low self-control.”
Morality, Self-Control, Deterrence, and Drug Use (2014, result): “The fact that deterrence is not found to be influenced by self-control supports the first of the four hypotheses outlined by Wright et al. (2004) that individuals’ rationality (i.e., their susceptibility to deterrence) is not altered by selfcontrol.”
Deterrence and Individual Differences Among Convicted Offenders (2007, background): “Suspended prison terms in the sample ranged from 2 to 159 months, with a mean of 54 and median of 53. Yet the suspended prison term alone does not capture the perceived severity of punishment because of variability in preferences for supervisory versus custodial sentences (Petersilia 1990; Wood and ”
