A self-control/life-course theory of criminal behavior (2016, background): “following the rich tradition in criminology of theoretical revision (Agnew, 1985, 1992; Akers, 2009; Sampson, 2006; Sampson and Bean, 2006; Tittle, 2004), we need to adapt our ideas to accommodate what the research shows.”
Revisiting Broken Windows Theory: Examining the Sources of the Discriminant Validity of Perceived Disorder and Crime (2010, background): “…of separability is logically problematic from the outset because many of the actions that the theory characterizes as types of disorder—such as prostitution, public drinking, and vandalism—are actually low-level forms of crime (Gau & Pratt, 2008; Sampson, 2006; Sampson & Raudenbush, 1999).”
