Most examinations of juvenile violence are limited in the behaviors studied and the theories used. To address these issues Nofziger applies a test of Gottfredson and Hirschi's (1990) General Theory of Crime to a range of violent and intimidating acts. She explores bullying, fighting, and weapon related behaviors and tests the effects of self-control and opportunity with survey data on 1200 juveniles. The analysis indicates that greater self-control decreases intimidation and violence and that greater opportunity increases the same behaviors. The study supports self-control theory and suggests that lessened self-control and increased opportunity encourage the behaviors under investigation.

Bullies, Fights and Guns
Always fun to read a textbook. This one had NO pictures and, in this day and age, that amounts to a gargantuan college essay. blech. Dated material, because it was first written in 1977--just about forty years ago.
In defense of the material, it probably covers most of what we need to know about probation and parole--written in scholarly prose and included some interesting tidbits, highlighted with gray lines.
It occurs to me that these authors might have included a first-hand view from the parolees and probationers themselves. Always looking from the outside in becomes boring and tedious.
