Abstract:

Using self-reported data on perceived formal and informal deterrence against the alcohol policy violation and intention to break the policy among college students, we examine the extent to which deterrence theory accounts for two important issues raised by feminist scholars. (1) Can deterrence theory account for the expected gender gap in intention to offend? (2) Can deterrence theory explain female rule breaking equally as well as male rule breaking? We found strong support for deterrence theory in terms of the first issue; however, informal deterrence was more important in explaining the relationship between gender and projected rule breaking than formal deterrence. Moreover, though there was no gender difference in the effect of formal deterrence on projected rule breaking, contrary to our expectation, the effect of embarrassment on rule breaking was significantly stronger for males than for females.
