Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sampson and Laub's research found that delinquency was greater when bonds with family and work institutions were weakest. Strong bonds with these institutions provide social control and reduce the likelihood of delinquent behavior. Weak bonds with education institutions were also associated with delinquency, but to a lesser extent than family and work.
