Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This study investigates two core propositions of Gottfredson and Hirschi’s (1990) general theory of crime. Using longitudinal data collected on approximately 750 African American children and their primary caregivers, we first examine whether self-control fully mediates the effect of parenting on delinquency. Consistent with the general theory, we find that low self-control is positively associated with involvement in delinquency. Counter to Gottfredson and Hirschi’s proposition, self-control mediates only a small portion of the negative effect of parental efficacy on delinquency. Next, we assess the theory’s hypothesis that between-individual levels of self-control are stable after age 10, and find rather dramatic shifts in self-control during adolescence. Finally, we explore whether social factors can explicate these changes in self-control. The four social relationships we incorporate (improvements in parenting, attachment to teachers, association with prosocial peers, and association with deviant peers) explain a substantial portion of the changes in self-control. The implications of these findings for the general theory of crime are discussed.
