Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Some sociological and social psychological concepts are routinely used in discussions of causal forces and mechanisms important in the explanation of crime. Three such concepts are socialization, social learning, and social control. Although widely introduced by criminologists, intricacies in defining and differentiating such concepts are rarely discussed. Rather, they are defined through illustrations of their use by specific theorists with virtually no attention to the concepts themselves. This paper initiates an attempt to develop more theoretically precise and empirically useful definitions and distinctions among such concepts. Because conceptual clarification for its own sake may not be exciting to a considerable number of people in the discipline, the empirical utility of each step taken in the process will be illustrated using existing data sets. Given the time constraints of conference presentations, this paper will concentrate on the concept of socialization with a more thorough treatment of other concepts reserved for subsequent papers.
