“…Micro-theories of migration that are based on rational choice theory focus on the factors in uencing individual decisions to migrate, which means that how potential migrants calculate the various costs and bene ts of migration. The immigrants from developing countries face the challenges of dual cultural scripts and contradicting lifestyles with respect to sexual relationships, socioreligious practices, and even daily routines [18]. This study is based on the planned behaviour theory as theoretical framework [19,20].…”

Background: Pakistani youths desire for international migration due to the more favourable socioeconomic circumstances in the country of destination. This may lead to migration marriages among partners of mismatching socio-economic statuses. This study aims to analyse the migration aspirations in relation with educational capabilities, marriage preferences, and health outcomes in the context of an anticipated transnational migration. Methods: A sequential mixed-methods study has been conducted. Nine case studies and a self-administered questionnaire survey among 496 students enrolled at University of Lahore, Pakistan, have been conducted. Qualitative data was analysed through thematic content analysis. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were performed for the quantitative data. The inductive themes in qualitative analysis, in addition to a literature review, were used to develop the structured questionnaire for the quantitative survey. Results: Significant associations of socio-demographic characteristics (gender, age, and education), migration aspirations, educational capabilities, marriage preferences, and health outcomes with the anticipated immigration status were observed. The potential migrants acquire skills and education that may support their migration plans. Conclusion: This study shows high intentions for transnational migration. Cautious policies need to be implemented for avoiding a brain drain, but also for allowing a high level of education and freedom to migrate.

“…Differences and tensions between “Western” and “Asian” cultures can be challenging for migrants to navigate, including around gender norms and attitudes towards women’s sexuality and premarital sex [ 13 ]. Structural inequalities (for example, laws and policies that disadvantage certain population groups) faced by migrants have a significant impact on health seeking behaviour and health outcomes [ 14 ].…”

Migrant health has been identified as one of the most pressing issues of the 21st century. Migration experiences are influenced by gender and gender norms and have important implications for the sexual health of migrant women. This systematic review explored socioecological factors influencing sexual health experiences and health outcomes of migrant Asian women living in “Western” high-income countries. PRISMA guidelines were followed and this study was registered with PROSPERO. Five academic databases were searched for peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2019. Of 2415 studies retrieved, 17 met the selection criteria: 12 qualitative, 4 quantitative, and 1 mixed-methods study. The four levels of Bronfenbrenner’s socioecological model were applied to examine the individual, interpersonal, institutional, and societal factors of influence. Most studies (n = 13) reported individual level factors, focusing on knowledge and use of contraceptives. At a societal level, host country sociocultural factors, including gender and cultural norms, influenced knowledge, ability to access and utilise contraceptives, and access to health services. Findings suggest that the public health policy, practice, and research to improve the sexual health of migrant women requires greater consideration of the intersecting factors of gender, culture, and the migration process.

“…"It is a relatively convincing explanation for criminality" (Tibbetts, 2019, p. 176). Scholars test the significance of the social bond theory with more complex measures (Hill & Pollock, 2015) and data that reflects today"s youth values, attitudes and behaviors (Zaidi et al, 2016;Chui & Chan, 2012;Cheung & Cheung, 2008;Özbay & Özcan, 2006;Vazony & Killias, 2001) and they provide contemporary implications for schools, juvenile courts and parents. As noted by Lanier and Henry (2010), Hirschi"s social bonding theory "still stands alone as a viable explanation for crime" (p. 196).…”

“…Although Hirschi conceded that he underestimated the importance of delinquent peers, some criminologists (Pratt, Gau & Franklin, 2011;Zaidi, Couture-Carron & Maticka-Tyndale, 2016;Jensen, 2003;Gibbons, 1994) criticized him for neglecting the significant role of this group on the development of delinquency. They believed Hirschi placed too much reliance on the juvenile"s participation with conventional peers.…”

Influenced by Thomas Hobbes’s Leviathan (1957 [1651]) and Emile Durkheim’s Le Suicide (1966 [1897]), criminologist Travis Hirschi wrote Causes of Delinquency (1969) in which he hypothesized that the more a juvenile is bonded to conventional society, the less likely he will become delinquent. Hirschi described four elements of the “social bond” (attachment, commitment, involvement and belief) and detailed the methodology he used to develop what is commonly referred to as “social bonding theory.” Although this enduring classic work has been seriously tested and highly praised for almost five decades for its classic contribution to the study and prevention of delinquency (and crime), it has also been sharply criticized from many theoretical and methodological perspectives. This paper provides an identification and review of several of those attacks.
