* The theory suggests that people with strong attachments to family, school, and other social institutions are less likely to engage in crime because they have more to lose.
* Power-control theory focuses on how powerful groups control less powerful ones.
* Feminist pathways theory explores how gender roles and socialization contribute to women's involvement in crime.
