Neighborhood Disorganization and Social Control

More about the book

The book explores the influence of family socialization and community environments on youth self-control, drawing from established theories of crime and social disorganization. By analyzing data from three Russian cities, the authors replicate findings from a previous German study, highlighting the critical roles that school and neighborhood contexts play in shaping self-control among adolescents. This framework offers valuable insights into the interplay between social factors and individual behavior.
