  • Title: An integrative control theory of delinquent behavior: a validation 1976-1985.
    Author: Le Blanc M, Ouimet M, Tremblay RE.
    Journal: Psychiatry; 1988 May; 51(2):164-76. PubMed ID: 3406229.
    Abstract:
    Criminology should be a field of inquiry where psychology and sociology meet in seeking to explain delinquency, but this has rarely been the case. Our paper is an attempt in that direction within the context of a control theory. Ever since Lewin (1933) proposed his famous formula: B = (P) x (E), where conduct (B) depends on the interaction between the characteristics of a person (P) and his environment (E), there have been numerous attempts to encourage theoreticians to develop integrative theories of conduct--in other words, to take account of the sociological and psychological factors simultaneously.
