Description

What exactly is self-control, and what life outcomes does it affect?

What causes a person to have high or low self-control to begin with?

What effect does self-control have on crime and other harmful behavior?         Using a clear, conversational writing style, Self-Control and Crime Over the Life Course answers critical questions about self-control and its importance for understanding criminal behavior.

Authors Carter Hay and Ryan Meldrum use intuitive examples to draw attention to the close connection between self-control and the behavioral choices people make, especially in reference to criminal, deviant, and harmful behaviors that often carry short-term benefits but long-term costs.

The text builds an overall theoretical perspective that conveys the multi-disciplinary nature of modern-day self-control research.

Moreover, far from emphasizing only theoretical issues, the authors place public policy at the forefront, using self-control research to inform policy efforts that reduce the societal costs of low self-control and the behaviors it enables.
