“…Consistent with social control theory, research has linked the level of social bonding to involvement in general delinquency, although the magnitude of this association has varied across studies (Agnew, 1993;Akers, 2000;Cernkovich & Giordano, 1992;Elliott, 1994;Hirschi, 1969;Junger & Marshall, 1997;Krohn & Massey, 1980;Liska & Reed, 1985;Paternoster, Sattzman, Waldo, & Chiricos, 1983;Rankin & Kern, 1994;Rankin & Wells, 1990;Simons et al, 1994;Simons, Johnson, Conger, & Elder, 1998;Thornberry, Lizotte, Krohn, Farnworth, & Jang, 1991;Wiatrowski & Anderson, 1987;Wiatrowski, Griswold, & Roberts, 1981). In comparison, little research has focused on school social bonds and school delinquency (D. C. Gottfredson, 2001;Jenkins, 1997;Welsh, 2000;Welsh et al, 1999).…”

“…In general, research which has been supportive of this theory has shown a consistent and moderately negative relationship between delinquency and attachment to parents and school (Elhott 8L VOSS, 1974;Hirschi & Hindelang, 1977;Krohn & Massey, 1980;Liska & Reed, 1985;Wiatrowski & Anderson, 1987). Studies have also found the control theory model useful in accounts of adolescent illicit drug use (Levine & Kozack, 1979;Otero, Miron & Luego, 1989;Ried, 1989).…”

This study examines the social networks and deviant behavior of 92 male and female adolescent offenders in a secure training school. Semi-structured interviews were conducted individually with the youth and repeated following a four-week interval. Record data were reviewed to assess behavioral adjustment. The Social Cognitive Map analytic technique was utilized to identify social clusters. Findings indicate that these extremely delinquent youth formed reasonably stable social networks within the institution. Social clusters were distinguished most strongly on the basis of gender, race and proximity. Individuals within clusters had similar levels of behavioral adjustment and perceptions of intimacy with peers. The processes of peer group formation are similar to those found among public school counterparts. Treatment implications are discussed.Questions regarding the relationship between peer affiliations and deviant behavior have resulted in differing perspectives about the formation of deviant adolescent social groups. Particularly controversial has been the issue of whether or not juvenile delinquents are capable of forming relationships with others. In the criminological literature, control theory and the principle of differential associations provide contrasting views on how adolescent social relationships may enhance or inhibit deviant behavior. An alternative perspective has also been proposed by developmental psychologists. These contrasting viewpoints give rise to questions of whether deviant, aggressive behavior stems from an inability to form relationships with others and whether the formation of relationships is inhibitory to involvement in aggressive behavior. The present study examines peer group affiliations and deviant behavior in a secure setting for highly aggressive, delinquent adolescents. This investigation expands upon current research by utilizing concepts and

“…For example, spending time studying and doing homework represent both involvement and commitment, and we assume adolescents who enjoy school are also attached to school. Previous studies have also found that the social bond does factor into distinct dimensions as conceptualized byHirschi (1969), and school-related items appear to represent more than one dimension of the social bond(Wiatrowski et al 1981 ;Wiatrowski and Anderson 1987).

Modeling delinquent behavior: Social disorganization, perceived blocked opportunity, and social control

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 = 8,338), social disorganization is measured by observed indicators of juveniles' perceptions of neighborhood deterioration. Social strain is operationalized through perceptions of blocked opportunity, whereas social control is measured through the respondents' reported level of attachment, commitment, and involvement in school. Structural equation models with latent variables are estimated separately by race and residence in order to more fully compare the linkages among these
