| Abstract: | Evidence relevant to claims of self-control theory concerning the connection between social integration and crime/deviance
is offered. Using data from a survey of the population of a southwestern city that permit measurement of two types of social
integration, including socially supportive networks, we (1) investigate the association between self-control and social integration,
and (2) attempt to ascertain if social integration is associated with misbehavior independently of self-control. Results suggest
that self-control is a persistent predictor of misconduct that operates independently of social integration. Although interpersonal
social integration appears to stand alone in its association with deviance, community integration shows no relationship with
self-control or misbehavior.
