Although the literature examining Gottfredson and Hirschi's theory is growing, an understudied area of inquiry concerns the role that race plays in the theory. Thus, this study examines the role that race plays in self-control theory. Using a random sample of juveniles from the Gang Resistance and Training (G.R.E.A.T.) evaluation, the findings show that low self-control has a link with delinquency for each race. However, the findings partially support Gottfredson and Hirschi's theory, with respect to race. Specifically, the findings show that low self-control has a link with delinquency for whites, but not for blacks
