The general theory of crime suggests that individuals who possess a low level of self-control are more likely to engage in impulsive and risk-taking behaviors. This lack of self-control may lead the individual to engage in substance abuse and disregard the potential consequences of their actions, such as driving under the influence and causing an accident.
