Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Gottfredson and Hirschi’s (1990) general theory of crime and Hirschi’s (1969) social bonding theory have been the subject of a considerable amount of research, although the assessment of their empirical validity has been mainly based on Western samples. Very few studies have attempted to test these theories in a different socio-cultural context (such as that of sub-Saharan Africa). The objective of the current study is to test some of the mainstream criminological theories, namely self-control and social bonds theory, in a non-Western context. The sample used in this research consists of 300 adolescents recruited from six senior secondary schools in Accra, Ghana. Fifty respondents were randomly selected from each of the six schools located in the study area. Self-administered surveys integrated questions about social bonding theory (adapted from Hirschi’s (1969) original questionnaire) and self-control theory (drawn from Grasmick et al (1993)). Findings raise important issues regarding the generalizability of mainstream criminological theories, and implications for criminological theory are discussed.
