Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Since its arrival on the criminological scene, an impressive roster of studies has emerged supporting Gottfredson and Hirschi’s (1990) core theoretical proposition—that criminal behavior is caused by individuals’ deficiencies in levels of self-control. Nevertheless, two lingering problems remain concerning Gottfredson and Hirschi’s theory: (1) the consistent failure of measures of self-control to fully mediate the effects of other criminogenic risk factors (e.g., deviant peer influences, antisocial attitudes, low parental efficacy), and (2) the emergence of empirical evidence indicating that the processes assumed to establish individuals’ levels of self-control are far more complex than Gottfredson and Hirschi were willing to admit. This paper addresses these issues by presenting an explanatory model of criminal behavior that pulls together the micro- (i.e., neuropsychological, family context) and macro-level (community and institutional contexts) dimensions of the relationship between self-control and crime. The purpose of this revised model is to demonstrate how self-control can be integrated into a more comprehensive—and empirically robust—theoretical framework for explaining criminal behavior over the life-course.
