  • Title: A critique of social bonding and control theory of delinquency using the principles of Psychology of Mind.
    Author: Kelley TM.
    Journal: Adolescence; 1996; 31(122):321-37. PubMed ID: 8726893.
    Abstract:
    The present paper first describes the refined principles of Psychology of Mind (POM) and shows how their logical interaction can help explain the comparative amounts of both deviant and conforming behavior engaged in by youthful offenders. The logic of these principles is then used to examine the major assumptions of social bonding and control theory of delinquency focusing predominantly on the formulations of Walter Reckless (1956) and Travis Hirschi (1969).
