It is seen that low self-control develops early in life and remains stable into and through adulthood. Gottfredson and Hirschi trace the root cause of poor self-control to inadequate childrearing practices. Parents or guardians who refuse or who are unable to monitor a childâs behavior, who do not recognize deviant behavior when it occurs, and who do not punish that behavior will produce children who lack self-control.
