Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hirschi's social control theory argues that individuals are deterred from engaging in criminal behavior due to their strong bonds to society and the social controls imposed by those bonds. This theory emphasizes the role of external factors in preventing crime, rather than internal psychological factors (such as in Hirschi's psycho-dynamism theory). Choice B and D are related to attachment theory, which focuses on the importance of strong emotional bonds between individuals as a deterrent to criminal behavior.
