Pratt, Travis C.; Turner, Michael G.; Piquero, Alex R. – Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency, 2004
Several empirical studies have attempted to estimate the effect of low self-control on criminal and "analogous" behaviors. Most of these studies have shown that low self-control is an important feature of the cause(s) of crime. Although research is beginning to emerge that targets more specifically the "roots" of self-control via parental…
