    Author: Ozbay O, Ozcan YZ.
    Journal: Int J Offender Ther Comp Criminol; 2008 Apr; 52(2):134-57. PubMed ID: 17991900.
    Abstract:
    In this study, Hirschi's social bonding theory is employed to identify what aspects of the theory can explain male and female delinquency and whether social bonding variables can equally explain male and female delinquency (generalizability problem) in a developing society, Turkey. The data include a two-stage-stratified cluster sample of 1,710 high school students from the central districts of Ankara, the capital of Turkey. The findings suggest that social bonding variables play a more important role for male students than for female students. Furthermore, they indicate that components of the social bonding theory can equally explain both male and female delinquent acts.
