Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The present study addresses the relative stability of self-control from Gottfredson and Hirschi’s general theory of crime. Previous literatures found partial support for this hypothesis. By using a four-wave longitudinal data coming from D.C Family Strengthening Projects, this paper applies the appropriate statistical tool (Mplus) for latent variables to explore the rank stability of self-control among a minority dominated sample aged from 9 to 11 (n=465) . This study also does an exploratory test of the source of self-control. The causal impact of parenting factors such as supervision, discipline, and caring on self-control are tested by using a sample of children aged from 7 to 8.
