    Linking bond theory to drift theory
    (Routledge, 2019) Serrano Maíllo, Alfonso
    In this chapter, I describe Matza’s drift theory of crime, which is the first theoretical effort to grant a causal role to morality. I then point to the main difficulties in drift theory, and I try to show that Hirschi’s bond theory is an effort to address and overcome those difficulties. At the same time, bond theory retains some of the main causal mechanisms proposed by drift theory. In relation to its partner, bond theory removes redundancy, relies on an improved version of compatibilism, and proposes a sounder causal mechanism according to which bonds are impediments. As a consequence, bond theory rejects drift theory theoretically, as well as empirically. At the same time, bond theory is built on drift theory, and it offers an improved version of it. Thus, bond theory can be understood as an example of theoretical evolution in criminology.

    Crime contemplation and self-control: A test of Situational Action Theory’s hypothesis about their interaction in crime causation
    (SAGE, 2018-01-14) Serrano Maíllo, Alfonso
    Situational Action Theory (SAT) is an important theoretical development with relatively broad empirical content, reflected in highly specific hypotheses about crime causation. It offers an alternative concept of self-control to that of the General Theory of Crime and predicts that the effect of self-control on crime depends on crime contemplation. Crime contemplation is the tendency to consider crime as an action alternative. This paper is a test of SAT using data on 1304 juveniles from four Latin American cities with relatively high crime rates and impunity levels. It therefore contributes to cross-national testing. Both ordinary least squares and negative binomial regression techniques are applied. Three different ways to test interactions in non-linear models are used. Findings support the hypothesis. Results and limitations are discussed.
