    Travis Hirschi developed the social control theory of crime, which argues that bonds to society, such as attachment, commitment, involvement, and belief, discourage criminal behavior. The four elements are: 1) Attachment refers to sensitivity to and interest in others like parents and peers. 2) Commitment involves time and effort spent pursuing conventional goals like education and career. 3) Involvement in activities leaves little time for crime. 4) Shared moral beliefs in things like honesty and fairness reduce crime. Strong bonds in these four areas decrease criminal behavior.

    ELEMENTS OF SOCIAL BOND THEORY

    DE JESUS RODRIGO MIGUEL


    BSCRIMINOLOGY 2-2
    TRAVIS WARNER HIRSCHI
    TRAVIS WARNER HIRSCHI

    • Travis Warner Hirschi was an American sociologist and an emeritus professor of sociology at the
    University of Arizona. He helped to develop the modern version of the social control theory of
    crime and later the self-control theory of crime.
    •
    Born: 15 April 1935, Rockville, Utah, United States
    • Died: 2 January 2017, Tucson, Arizona, United States
    • Nationality: American Known for: Social control theory
    • Education: University of California, Berkeley
    • Hirschi argues that the social bond a person maintains with society is divided into four main
    elements: attachment, commitment, involvement, and belief.
    ATTACHMENT

    • refers to a person’s sensitivity to and interest in others.


    • views parents, peers, and schools as the important social institutions with which a person
    should maintain ties.
    • Attachment to parents is the most important.
    • Even if a family is shattered by divorce or separation, a child must retain a strong attachment
    to one or both parents. Without this attachment, it is unlikely that feelings of respect for others
    in authority will develop.
    • FAMILY
    • FRIENDS
    • COMMUNITY
    COMMITMENT

    • involves the time, energy, and effort expended in conventional lines of action, such as getting
    an education and saving money for the future.
    • If people build a strong commitment to conventional society, they will be less likely to engage
    in acts that will jeopardize their hard-won position.
    • Conversely, the lack of commitment to conventional values may foreshadow a condition in
    which risk-taking behavior, such as crime, becomes a reasonable behavior alternative
    • FUTURE
    • CAREER
    • SUCCESS
    • PERSONAL GOALS
    INVOLVEMENT

    • Heavy involvement in conventional activities leaves little time for illegal


    behavior. When people become involved in school, recreation, and family,
    Hirschi believes, it insulates them from the potential lure of criminal behavior,
    whereas idleness enhances it.
    • SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
    • SPORTS
    • RELIGIOUS GROUPS
    • SOCIAL CLUBS
    BELIEF

    • People who live in the same social setting often share common moral beliefs; they
    may adhere to such values as sharing, sensitivity to the rights of others, and
    admiration for the legal code.
    • If these beliefs are absent or weakened, individuals are more likely to participate
    in antisocial or illegal acts.
    • HONESTY
    • MORALITY
    • FAIRNESS
    • PATRIOTISM
