In 1990 when Michael Gottfredson and Travis Hisrchi published A
General Theory of Crime, now often referred to as self control
theory, it quickly became among the most discussed and researched
perspectives in criminology. In Modern Control Theory and the
Limits of the Criminal Justice, Gottfredson and Hirschi develop and
extend the theory of self control advanced in their classic work.
Focusing on the methodology of testing crime theory and measuring
behavioral research on crime and delinquency, they critically
review the evidence about self control theory. Gottfredson and
Hirschi further discuss evidence about the positive consequences of
higher levels of self control from education, economics, and public
health, that-along with evidence from delinquency and crime-show
substantial support for the theory of self control. Illustrating
the theory through predictions about policing, incarceration,
juvenile justice, and the connection of immigration policy to
crime, this book connects self control theory to the structure and
function of the criminal justice system, then applies the theory to
pressing issues of public policy about delinquency and crime.
