“…Self-control has been predicted by family variables such as attachment and supervision (Beaver, DeLisi, Vaughn, Wright, & Boutwell, 2008;Beaver, Wright, & DeLisi, 2007;Boutwell & Beaver, 2010;Gibson, Sullivan, Jones, & Piquero, 2010;Vaughn, DeLisi, Beaver, & Wright, 2009;Vazsonyi & Huang, 2010;, family structure (Hope, Grasmick, & Pointon, 2003), and maternal deviance (Chapple, Hope, & Whiteford, 2005;Hope & Chapple, 2005). Research has also highlighted the importance of extra-familial sources of self-control through collective socialization at the school and community levels (Pratt, Turner, & Piquero, 2004;Turner, Piquero, & Pratt, 2005). Finally, emerging research (Beaver, DeLisi, Vaughn, & Wright, 2010;Beaver et al, 2007; has emphasized the importance of biological and genetic influences on self-control.…”

“…On the other hand, well-socialized children may increase their self-control when rewarded and reinforced by schooling. In their recent study, Turner et al (2005) expanded their previous research with the addition of school socialization as an explanatory variable. Results of this study suggest that school socialization is indeed important in the explanation of self-control, and this relationship remained significant after controlling for demographic and family process variables.…”

“…Andererseits kam nicht erst die gegenwärtige Studie zu dem ergebnis, dass zentrale Annahmen der Selbstkontrolltheorie in ihrer derzeitigen Form nicht bestätigt werden können. hierzu gehören neben dem befund, dass eine niedrige Selbstkontrolle nicht allein aus dem Fehlen einer effizienten Sozialisation resultiert (außer der gegenwärtigen Studie hierzu etwa: unnever et al 2006;Simons et al 2007;Wilmers et al 2002;Pratt et al 2004;Wright und beaver 2005;Turner et al 2005), unter anderem auch die Suffizienzannahme der Selbstkontrolltheorie (Pratt und Cullen 2000) sowie das Stabilitätspostulat (burt et al 2006). Für die weitere Theorieentwicklung deuten die vorliegenden befunde an, dass die Selbstkontrolltheorie in ihrer gegenwärtigen Form verworfen werden sollte, beziehungsweise von erheblichen Veränderungen profitieren würde, um ihren Wahrheitsgehalt und ihre Reichweite zu vergrößern (Opp und Wippler 1990;Opp 2002;Seipel 1999).…”

Zusammenfassung: der vorliegende beitrag nimmt eine theorienvergleichende empirische Analyse der intergenerationalen Transmission von gewalt vor. es werden die Selbstkontrolltheorie (gottfredson und hirschi 1990) und die soziale lerntheorie (bandura 1979a, b) herangezogen, um zu klären, aufgrund welcher Mechanismen das erleben von elterlicher gewalt in der Kindheit die Anwendung von gewalt im Jugendalter begünstigt. Als grundlage der Studie dienen daten einer befragung von neuntklässlern an allgemeinbildenden Schulen in dortmund und Stuttgart (n = 4583), die durch das Kriminologische Forschungsinstitut niedersachsen (KFn) im Jahr 2005 erhoben wurden. die datenanalyse erfolgt anhand von linearen Strukturgleichungsmodellen. die ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Transmission von gewalt zu einem überwiegenden Teil auf lernprozesse und zu einem geringeren Teil auf eine Schwächung der Selbstkontrolle von Jugendlichen zurückgeführt werden kann. Im empirischen Theorienvergleich erweist sich die erklärung der sozialen lerntheorie als der Selbstkontrolltheorie überlegen. die Implikationen dieser befunde für die weitere Theorieentwicklung werden diskutiert.Schlüsselwörter: Kreislauf der gewalt · Transmission von gewalt · empirischer Theorienvergleich · Selbstkontrolltheorie · Soziale lerntheorie They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind-An empirical theory comparison of explanatory mechanisms in the cycle of violence Abstract: The present study deals with the theoretical and empirical analysis of the intergenerational transmission of violence. Within the framework of a systematic theory comparison, the Kriminologisches Forschungsinstitut niedersachsen, lützerodestr. 9, 30161 hannover, deutschland e-Mail: baier@kfn.uni-hannover.de 112 S. Schulz et al.self-control theory (gottfredson und hirschi 1990) and the social learning theory (bandura 1979a, b) are used to analyze the mechanisms relating the experience of parental violence in childhood to the use of violence in adolescence (the so-called cycle of violence). The analyses are based on a survey of ninth-graders from schools in dortmund and Stuttgart (n = 4583) conducted by the Criminological Research Institute of lower Saxony (KFn) in 2005. data analyses are carried out based on linear structural equation modeling. The results reveal that both self-control and social learning processes mediate between the experience of violent parenting and the prevalence of juvenile violence; however, a greater relative share of the cycle of violence can be traced back to social learning processes. The systematic theory comparison points out that the social learning theory provides the superior explanation of the cycle of violence. The results of the study are discussed with regard to their implications for further theory development.

“…Similar to prior research (see Pratt, Turner, & Piquero, 2004;Turner, Piquero, & Pratt, 2005) that measured neighborhood disadvantage, this study uses maternal reports of seven items collected during Wave 4 (1992), when offspring were at a mean age of 13. Mothers responded to seven items assessing a variety of neighborhood problems.…”

Research examining Moffitt's dual taxonomy theory of offending has generally supported the idea that neuropsychological deficits interact with disadvantaged familial environments to predict life-course-persistent offending. Most research, however, has neglected to investigate the power of this interaction across different neighborhood and racial contexts. Using data extracted from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, Moffitt's biosocial hypothesis is tested across different neighborhood and racial contexts. The findings indicate that the biosocial interaction predicts life-course-persistent offending only among non-Whites in disadvantaged neighborhoods. Stated differently, macro-level structural factors appear to moderate the effects of individual and family risks. That poor non-Whites reside in neighborhoods that are ecologically distinct from those in which poor Whites reside exacerbates the criminogenic effects of individual-level deficits and family disadvantage.
