Beyond Stafford and Warr's Reconceptualization of Deterrence: Personal and Vicarious Experiences, Impulsivity, and Offending Behavior (2002, background): “As Hirschi and Gottfredson (2000) recently observed, “nature provides sufficient variation in self-control within select groups to allow study of its effects,” and these groups include, according to Hirschi and Gottfredson, “college students” (p. 67).”
Something Old, Something New: A Preliminary Investigation of Hirschi’s Redefined Self‐Control (2007, background): “While this alone does not necessarily make the use of college students acceptable, it is also the case that Hirschi and Gottfredson ( 2000 ) claim that any type of sample, including students, can be used to empirically assess self‐control issues.”
DELINQUENCY BALANCE: REVISITING PEER INFLUENCE* (2009, background): “Although propensity theorists have consistently argued that such a focus is unwarranted (Gottfredson and Hirschi, 1990; Hirschi and Gottfredson, 2000), it remains that delinquency “imbalance” between friends predicted within-individual change in delinquency.”
Self-Control, Violent Offending, and Homicide Victimization: Assessing the General Theory of Crime (2005, background): “Luckily, ‘‘nature provides sufficient variation in self-control within select groups [such as offenders] to allow study of its effects’’ ( Hirschi and Gottfredson, 2000, p. 67 ).”
Gender, Age, and Crime/Deviance: A Challenge to Self-Control Theory (2003, background): “…the predicted negative association between self-control and criminal/deviant behavior is nondeterministic (low self-control does not inevitably lead to crime and numerous conditions presumably may affect whether it does or does not produce crime) (see, for example, Hirschi and Gottfredson 2000:65).”
