TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the gender differences in general strain theory (GST) and found that the results support Broidy and Agnew's gender/general strain hypotheses and, at the same time, offer modifications and extensions for future research.

TL;DR: Data is used from Dallas, Texas to examine the extent to which a stay-at-home/shelter-in-place lockdown-style order was associated with an increase in domestic violence and provides some evidence for a short-term spike in the 2 weeks after the lockdown was instituted but a decrease thereafter.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the extent to which internal and external constraints condition the relationship between gender, delinquent peers, and delinquent behavior, and find that delinquent peer association is an important predictor of delinquency generally, but the effect varies across gender.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the offending decisions of MBA students to commit corporate offending in the promotion/sales of a hypothetical pharmaceutical drug and found that the decision to commit criminal crime was inversely related to perceptions that close friends and business professors agree with the decision, which went against predictions based on differential association theory.
