The primary findings indicate support for the theory net of the impacts of strain, deterrence, differential association, social bonding, and routine activity theories: The greater the low self-control, the greater the violence. No subdimensions of self-control have consistent significant impacts on violence. Most high-opportunity measures have positive impacts on violence. Interaction effects occur only among subdimensions of self-control and opportunity variables. Social class and age are significant even when low self-control measures were controlled.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessself-control theorypolitical violenceviolenceuniversitystudentsTurkeyArticle53214516710.1177/0306624X08314577186357412-s2.0-62249131527Q1WOS:000264021100003Q2
