“Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop”: Self-Control, Risky Lifestyles, and Repeat Victimization (2012, background): “Instead, the typical empirical approach is to correlate self-control with some outcome measure, control for a bunch of other stuff statistically, and then see if self-control retains its effect in a multivariate model (see Pratt and Cullen 2000).”
In the Eye of the Impulsive Beholder (2009, background): “Despite the different operationalizations of this construct, widespread support has been garnered that implicates it as a robust correlate of offending behavior (Lynam & Miller, 2004; Pratt & Cullen, 2000).”
The Association Between Parental Incarceration and Health, Education, and Economic Outcomes in Young Adulthood (2015, neutral): “…and health have all been linked previously to low self-control (Baumeister and Heatherton 1996; Gottfredson and Hirschi 1990; Miller et al. 2011; Pratt and Cullen 2000; Tangney et al. 2004) and statistical models which fail to account for self-control risk misspecification (Pratt and Cullen 2000).”
On the Malleability of Self‐Control: Theoretical and Policy Implications Regarding a General Theory of Crime (2010, background): “…1996; Piquero & Bouffard, 2007; Piquero, MacIntosh, & Hickman, 2000; Piquero & Rosay, 1998; Tittle, Ward, & Grasmick, 2004), and summary statements about the empirical knowledge base identify self-control as an important, but not sole correlate of varied antisocial activity (Pratt & Cullen, 2000).”
the impacts of self-control and social bonds on juvenile delinquency in a national sample of midadolescents (2004, background): “A recent meta-analysis found that the empirical tests of the general theory of crime generally support the theory's main thesis that low self-control predicts crime and analogous behavior ( Pratt and Cullen 2000 ).”
A self-control/life-course theory of criminal behavior (2016, background): “, 2004), and to criminal behavior in adulthood (Pratt and Cullen, 2000; Reisig, Wolfe, and Pratt, 2012; Wright et al., 1999).”
Were Wolfgang's chronic offenders psychopaths? On the convergent validity between psychopathy and career criminality (2008, background): “Empirically, low selfcontrol has been linked to multifaceted forms of antisocial behavior, so much that it has emerged as one of the predominant individual-level variables in criminology( Pratt &Cullen,2000 ).”
Extending the General Theory of Crime to “The East:” Low Self-Control in Japanese Late Adolescents (2004, background): “Finally, a number of investigations have found mixed evidence on the similarity claim by Gottfredson and Hirschi (e.g., Burton et al., 1998; Gibbs and Griever 1995; Keane et al., 1993; Nakhaie et al., 2000; Wood et al., 1993).”

It's time: A meta-analysis on the self-control-deviance link (2017, background): “Since its publication, Gottfredson and Hirschi's A General Theory of Crime has had a profound impact in criminology, inspiring a wealth of empirical studies that test the link between low self-control and measures of crime or deviance (Engel, 2012; DeLisi & Piquero, 2011; Pratt & Cullen, 2000).”
The Robustness of Self-Control in Relation to Form of Delinquency (2005, background): “This theory has received more research attention than any other explanation of unlawful behavior over the past decade, and it has garnered considerable empirical support (Pratt & Cullen, 2000; Tittle et al., 2003; Vazsonyi et al., 2001).”
Self-Control Interventions for Children Under Age 10 for Improving Self-Control and Delinquency and Problem Behaviors: A Systematic Review (2010, background): “…its key independent variable of self-control (Grasmick et al., 1993; Piquero et al., 2000; Tittle et al., 2004; Goode, 2008), and summary statements about the empirical knowledge base identify selfcontrol as an important, but not sole correlate of varied antisocial activity (Pratt & Cullen, 2000).”
The Empirical Status of Social Learning Theory: A Meta‐Analysis (2010, methodology): “First, in a meta-analysis of Gottfredson and Hirschi’s (1990) general theory of crime, Pratt and Cullen (2000) assessed studies that included measures of both self-control and social learning theory.”
Self-control, Victimization, and their Influence on Risky Lifestyles: A Longitudinal Analysis Using Panel Data (2006, background): “Self-control theory has generated considerable research attention, and commentators reviewing the impressively large empirical work on the theory have concluded that self-control is an ‘‘important’’ variable in the study of criminal and delinquent behavior (for a more detailed summary of this litera”
