Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Travis Hirschi's control theory, particularly in its original formulation in 1969, posits that delinquent acts occur when an individual's bond to society is weak or broken, not that people have control over the acts they perpetrate. It focuses on the societal and external factors that prevent individuals from engaging in crime rather than the individual's control over their actions.
