“…However, some literature does exist that has examined the connection between parental management, self-control, and offending. For example, the following studies have supported the connection between parental management, low self-control, and offending (Burt, Simons, & Simons, 2006;Cochran, Wood, Sellers, Wilkerson & Chamlin, 1998;Feldman & Weinberger, 1994;Gibbs, Giever, & Higgins, 2003;Gibbs, Giever, & Martin, 1998;Hay, 2001;Hay & Forrest, 2008;Hope & Chapple, 2005;Hope, Grasmick, & Pointon, 2003;Nofziger, 2008;Perrone, Sullivan, Pratt, & Margaryan, 2004;Polakowski, 1994;Pratt et aI., 2004;Unnever, Cullen, & Pratt, 2003). In short, these studies suggest that a connection between parental management, self-control, and offending exists as Gottfredson and Hirschi (1990) suggested.…”
