To address these issues Nofziger applies a test of Gottfredson and Hirschi's (1990) General Theory of Crime to a range of violent and intimidating acts. She explores bullying, fighting, and weapon related behaviors and tests the effects of self-control and opportunity with survey data on 1200 juveniles. The analysis indicates that greater self-control decreases intimidation and violence and that greater opportunity increases the same behaviors. The study supports self-control theory and suggests that lessened self-control and increased opportunity encourage the behaviors under investigationCriminal justice (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC)Children and violenceUnited StatesDeviant behaviorUnited StatesSelf-control in childrenUnited StatesJuvenile delinquencyUnited StatesChildren and violenceDeviant behaviorSelf-control in childrenJuvenile delinquency302.3/4Nofziger Stacey1866797MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910968631603321Bullies, fights, and guns4474252UNINA
