Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: At the individual level, very little theoretical attention has been given to the differential patterning of criminal behavior for African Americans when compared to Whites. Although patterns of offending for these two racial groups have generated substantial empirical attention and controversy, much of this research has been preoccupied with documenting the nature and extent of these differences. Relatively few studies have attempted to empirically assess whether the processes specified by prominent individual-level theories of crime are the same for African Americans and Whites. This research addresses that void in the criminological literature by offering a comparative test of three prominent individual-level theories of crime by race. Specifically, using a sample of African American and White adults who live in three census tracts in Wake County, North Carolina, I examine the extent to which self-control, general strain, and social bonding theories can account for patterns of criminal offending for these two groups. Preliminary analyses offer some support. However, some findings are not predicted by theory. The implications of these findings for the generality of these theories are also discussed.
