Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Although the importance of the transactional perspective has already been outlined with respect to the social processes thought to influence adolescent delinquency (Sampson and Laub, 1993; Patterson, Crosby, and Vuchinich, 1992), the application of transactional understandings within control theory models has tended to over-emphasize direct social influences over child effects. Such an emphasis, however, renders the theoretical and empirical contributions of transactional theory impotent at best and unnecessary at worst. The power of transactional theory lies primarily in its ability to capture contextual variation. However, under current applications, transactional theory loses this power. This paper reviews the theoretical importance of the transactional, developmental approach to understanding the etiology of delinquency particularly within a social control model. It goes further by identifying the theoretical shortcomings of transactional theory and, ultimately, proposing a solution which would add to its overall explanatory power. By contextualizing transactional understandings within a broader evolutionary perspective, we can begin to move toward a “true” transactional understanding of the developmental processes that lead to delinquent outcomes.
