The theories of social bond, differential association and routine activities were synthesized into one theoretical model to determine its predictive utility in the explanation of juvenile delinquency and victimization. Using cross-sectional data obtained from the Gang Resistance Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T.) survey, a sample of middle school students was examined. The results indicate that the integrated model moderately predicts delinquent behavior (i.e. property crime, violent crime and alcohol and illegal drug use) and victimization. This study concludes that theoretical integration i...

predictive utility in the explanation of juvenile

that the integrated model moderately predicts
delinquent behavior (i.e. property crime, violent
crime and alcohol and illegal drug use) and
victimization. This study concludes that theoretical
integration is necessary in order to develop a more
complete crime theory and to increase the current
understanding of the crime-victimization
relationship.
