Synopsis

The theories of social bond, differential association and routine activities were synthesized into one theoretical model to determine its predictive utility in the explanation of juvenile delinquency and victimization. Using cross-sectional data obtained from the Gang Resistance Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T.) survey, a sample of middle school students was examined. The results indicate that the integrated model moderately predicts delinquent behavior (i.e. property crime, violent crime and alcohol and illegal drug use) and victimization. This study concludes that theoretical integration is necessary in order to develop a more complete crime theory and to increase the current understanding of the crime-victimization relationship.
