Association with delinquent peers is evaluated as one of the most important explanatory factors of juvenile delinquency. The effect of low self-control has also been tested with a considerable amount support. By testing the effects of low self-control and delinquent peers on delinquent behavior, this study intends to examine the relative efficacy of a Gottfredson and Hirschi"s general theory, developmental theory, and Moffitt"s theory. Using KYPS data from 3,125, results supports a developmental perspective. Results show that the effect of low self-control on delinquency is mediated by association with delinquent peers and its effect is stronger in explaining more serious major delinquency than minor delinquency. However, the effect of low self-control is directly significant in explaining minor delinquency. Contrary to Moffitt"s view, this study reveals that low self-control is important in explaining an adolescent onset minor delinquent behavior, while affiliation with delinquent peers is important in explaining a childhood onset and persistent major delinquent behavior. However, the effect of prior delinquency is the most important factor. The policy implication of those results are discussed.
