Predicting Academic Misconduct
Extant studies have shown academic misconduct, that is, cheating, to be a pervasive problem among college students. A number of avenues have been explored in order to determine those factors related to this type of deviant behavior. This study looks at a variety of traditional theoretical factors, including constructs representing social bond, self-control, social strain, and differential association theories, using data from a stratified random …
Another Look at Classic Strain Theory
An extensive amount of criminological research has focused on the relationship between the inability of adolescents to achieve financial success or middle-class status through legitimate channels and their subsequent involvement in delinquency. This genre of research is commonly recognized as structural-strain theory. As the efficacy of this theory has periodically been questioned, this study addresses some of the methodological and theoretical i…
Testing Control Theory and Differential Association
In what has become a classic work in the field, Matsueda (1982) tested control theory against differential association theory using Hirschi's (1969) Richmond Youth Project data. Matsueda found that measures of “definitions favorable to law violation” entirely mediated the effect of his social control measures and friends' delinquency, and concluded that differential association theory was supported over control theory. We note several problems wi…
Modeling delinquent behavior
The linkages among several popular theories in the delinquency literature—social disorganization, strain, and social control theory—as well as their effects on delinquent behavior are investigated in this study. Social disorganization has been primarily studied with aggregate‐level data in prior work, and we note certain theoretical and empirical issues associated with this approach. In this study of public high school students in Mississippi (n …
