Reconsidering the Effect of Self-Control and Delinquent Peers (2009, background): “Warr (2002) described a number of these factors, including fear of ridicule, status striving, and the diffusion of responsibility within a group.”
Evidence of Genetic and Environmental Effects On the Development of Low Self-Control (2009, background): “Affiliating with antisocial peers is a strong and robust predictor of delinquent behavior (Warr, 2002), and it has also recently been found to be associated with levels of self-control (Burt, Simons, & Simons, 2006).”
Activity Fields and the Dynamics of Crime (2010, background): “It is a well established fact that most young people commit crime with their peers (e.g., Reiss 1986; Sarnecki 1986; Warr 2002; Wikström and Butterworth 2006).”
Network–Behavior Dynamics (2013, background): “Influence processes might work via mechanisms of social learning and imitation (Bandura, 1977), expected rewards of conformity (Burgess & Akers, 1966), social facilitation (Zajonc, 1968), or peer pressure (Warr, 2002).”

Self‐control, peer relations, and delinquency (2005, background): “This research adds to a growing list of research on the peers– delinquency relationship beyond deviant norm acquisition, imitation and reinforcement (Haynie, 2001; Osgood, Wilson, Bachman, O’Malley, & Johnston, 1996; Warr, 2002).”
The Relationship Between Parental Imprisonment and Offspring Offending in England and The Netherlands (2011, background): “They will use their peers as role models, which might lead to more delinquent behaviour (Warr 2002).”
