尽管经常在高中样本上进行实证检验，但差别关联和社会控制理论很少被用来解释重罪犯的犯罪行为。基于 1,153 名新入狱的重罪犯的样本，作者检验了差别关联和社会控制理论解释不同犯罪类型和性别群体的自我报告犯罪的能力。总体而言，分析支持了这两种观点，并表明它们是犯罪的“一般”理论。然而，差异关联理论似乎具有更一致的效果，特别是对于男性。与男性相比，父母依恋对女性参与暴力犯罪的预测作用显着更强。这些结果表明，如果未来的犯罪行为研究不包括这些“传统”犯罪理论的衡量标准，就有可能被错误指定。
Although often tested empirically on high school samples, differential association and social control theories have only infrequently been used to explain offending by felons, Based on a sample of 1,153 newly incarcerated felons, the authors examine the ability of differential association and social control theories to explain self-reported offending across types of crime and gender groups. Overall, the analyses lend support to both perspectives and suggest that they are "general" theories of crime, It also appears, however that differential association theory has more consistent effects, especially for men. Parental attachment is a significantly stronger predictor of female than male participation in violent crime. These results indicate that future studies of criminal behavior risk being misspecified if they do not include measures of these "traditional" theories of crime.
