“…To measure self-control, a variable was created using responses to 12 of the original 24-item index created by Grasmick et al (1993). The measures capture four of the six dimensions of self-control (i.e., impulsivity, risk-taking, volatile temperament, and self-centeredness), which has been validated through prior research (Marshall and Enzmann, 2012;Rocque et al, 2013;Botchkovar et al, 2015). The Percentage of Maximum Possible (POMP) scoring method was used to create the measure for this analysis by first rescaling the 12-item measures from 0 to 100 to create an average score for each respondent (alpha = 0.83).…”

Research on delinquency reduction often highlights the importance of identifying and sanctioning antisocial and illegal activities so as to reduce the likelihood of future offending. The rise of digital technology complicates the process of detecting cybercrimes and technology enabled offenses, as individuals can use devices from anywhere to engage in various harmful activities that may appear benign to an observer. Despite the growth of cybercrime research, limited studies have examined the extent to which technology enabled offenses are detected, or the behavioral and attitudinal factors associated with being unobserved or caught for one's actions. The current study addresses this gap in the literature by estimating a multinomial regression model for selfreported computer hacking behavior and the likelihood of those actions being detected in a large international sample of juveniles (N = 51,059). The findings demonstrate significant differences between youth who hack without detection compared to those who are caught. The implications of this analysis for our understanding of cybercrime and its relationship to traditional delinquency are explored in depth.

“…A positive association between parenting and self‐control has been documented in different cultures and countries (Cretacci & Cretacci, ; Smith & Crichlow, ). For example, Botchkovar, Marshall, Rocque, and Posick () studied self‐control of seventh to ninth graders in 30 countries. Findings indicate that parenting strategies had a modest effect in all cultural contexts.…”

Skills are widely considered as key elements that contribute to the sustainable development of nations and the well‐being of individuals. Given the increasing interests in the international comparisons of skills for informing educational policy, it is necessary to understand the definitions, measurement, and development of key skills. Using literature from economics, sociology, and psychology, this article focuses on non‐cognitive skills that have a positive effect on life outcomes and can be better developed through education and training. Three non‐cognitive skills – grit, self‐control and social skills are illustrated and thoroughly reviewed here. Although some progress has been made in developing and measuring non‐cognitive skills, there is currently no systematic global measure. Several factors hinder the global monitoring of non‐cognitive skills and inhibits effective non‐cognitive skills assessment across countries. These include a lack of solid evidence showing which soft skills predict academic and workforce outcomes and how does the strength of this relationship differ by situation.

“…Also, some studies use domain-specific assessments of self-control (e.g., dieting) or antisocial behaviors that are not aggressive (e.g., truancy). One exception is a recent study that examined a self-report measure of selfcontrol among children (Botchkavar et al 2015). This study found higher levels of self-control in Northern European countries (e.g., Scandinavian countries, Iceland) than in Southern European countries or the United States.…”

Dimensions of environmental risk are unique theoretical constructs

Life history theory serves as the foundation for the CLimate, Aggression, and Self-control in Humans (CLASH) model of aggression. However, this model embodies several misunderstandings of life history constructs and principles. The CLASH model does not recognize that environmental harshness and environmental unpredictability are unique theoretical constructs, rendering predictions and implications from the model suspect.
