Researchers have found that low self‐control, the theory's core concept, is related to lawbreaking deviant behaviors considered by Hirschi be “analogous” crime.

With a modified version of the white-collar sentencing model developed by Wheeler, Weisburd, and Bode (1982), we analyze sentences for sample offenders adjudicated in one federal court between 1970 1980. Contrary to Wheeler et al., this study socioeconomic status is not related sanction severity. Higher-status are no more likely be incarcerated than low-status offenders, nor do they receive longer sentences. We explore whether relationship sentence severity changed after 1974 Watergate...
