Document Summary

Identify primary principles, extensions, and criticism of social control theories. Understand what developmental/life course criminology is and how it incorporates control theories. But get detail for some things she does not explain in as much detail. Need a general idea on definitions but not word for word. Don"t need to memorize exact dates but know an approximate so you know the timeline. As well as reading discussed in class as well as in tutorial. If needs are met there is no reason for participation in crime. Bonds to conformity keep us from committing crime. You can become attached to someone that is deviant but that does not necessarily mean that you will become deviant. Ind will be less likely to engage in deviance when they have a strong commitment to conventional society. The amount of time we spend committing these acts or being with a group who is deviant. All depends on how much free time someone has.
