Risky Lifestyles, Low Self-control, and Violent Victimization Across Gendered Pathways to Crime (2015, background): “Contrary to traditional empirical approaches that pit ‘‘motivation’’ and ‘‘opportunity’’ theories against one another, the marriage of lifestyle and self-control theories allows for a more comprehensive study of victimization (Holtfreter et al. 2008; Schreck et al. 2006; Stewart et al. 2004).”
“Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop”: Self-Control, Risky Lifestyles, and Repeat Victimization (2012, background): “…to be among the strongest predictors of victimization across a variety of contexts and in many forms, even when controlling for other robust criminogenic risk factors (Baron et al. 2007; Fox et al. 2009; Higgins et al. 2009; Holtfreter et al. 2008, 2010; Kerley et al. 2009; Piquero et al. 2005).”
Perceived Risk of Internet Theft Victimization (2009, background): “…previously, research by Stewart, Schreck, and colleagues has reported that personal traits (i.e., low self-control) increase the probability of street and fraud victimization (see, e.g., Schreck et al., 2006; Schreck, Wright, & Miller, 2002; Stewart et al., 2004; see also Holtfreter et al., 2008).”
The Consequences of Maladaptive Coping: Integrating General Strain and Self-Control Theories to Specify a Causal Pathway Between Victimization and Offending (2013, background): “As originally specified by Gottfredson and Hirschi (1990), those with low self-control care little about others, are easily provoked, are impulsive, they like to take risks, reject social norms and rules, and have an aggressive or antagonistic interactional style (Evans et al. 1997; Higgins and Tewk”
Assessing the Effect of Routine Activity Theory and Self-Control on Property, Personal, and Sexual Assault Victimization (2012, background): “Gover, A. (2004). Risky lifestyles and dating violence: A theoretical test of violent victimization.”
A longitudinal analysis of citizens' attitudes about police (2010, background): “This response rate is not ideal, but it is fairly typical of the current response rates researchers are achieving in mail and telephone surveys (Curtin et al., 2005; Gau and Pratt, 2008; Holtfreter et al., 2008; McCarty et al., 2006).”
An Investigation of the Relationship between Self-Control and Alcohol-Induced Sexual Assault Victimization (2011, background): “…property victimization but not including rape and sexual assault (Schreck, 1999; Schreck et al., 2006), homicide victimization (Piquero et al., 2005), solely a measure of property victimization (Kerley et al., 2009), or fraud or Internet victimization (Holtfreter et al., 2008; Reisig et al., 2009).”
Lifestyle and Routine Activity Theories Revisited: The Importance of “Risk” to the Study of Victimization (2016, methodology): “Accordingly, studies linking self-control and lifestyle/routine activity theories have been conducted (Holtfreter et al., 2008; Schreck et al., 2006; Stewart et al., 2004) and this work has proven quite useful in explaining victimization (Franklin, 2011; Pratt et al., 2014; Reyns, Henson, & Fisher,…”
Low Self-Control and Imprudent Behavior Revisited (2011, background): “2003; Vazsonyi and Crosswhite 2004), and criminal victimization (Holtfreter et al. 2008; Piquero et al. 2005; Schreck 1999; Schreck et al. 2006; Stewart et al. 2004).”
Online Routines and Identity Theft Victimization (2013, background): “Early efforts to apply routine activity theory to crimes in which the victim and offender do not intersect in time and space have yielded mixed, but encouraging results (e.g., Choi 2008; Holt and Bossler 2009; Holtfreter et al. 2008; Marcum, Higgins, and Ricketts 2010; Pratt et al. 2010).”
