• Does the Effect of Self-Control On Adolescent Offending Vary By Level of Morality? (2010, background): “…other variables, such as perceived opportunity for crime (Grasmick, Tittle, Bursik, & Arneklev, 1993; Longshore, 1998), time spent with peers and parental supervision (Hay & Forrest, 2008; LaGrange & Silverman, 1999), and the average delinquency of school friends (Meldrum, Young, & Weerman, 2009).”
• Peer Influence and Delinquency (2019, background): “Indeed, several studies suggest the strength of peer influence processes are at least somewhat dependent on an individuals’ level of self-control or morality (e.g., Hay & Forrest 2008, Mears et al. 1998, Thomas & McGloin 2013, Wikström 2006, Wright et al. 2001).”
