The same concept of attachment, involvement, belief and commitment was still associated, however; it had to be on a higher level than what Hirschi propose original. Friedman and Rosenbaun research was able to test the theory appropriately, however; they found additional variables. These variables were gender, age and type of crime, these contributed to the delinquency of an individual. Each researcher focused on measuring the social bond theory to a high degree. Unlike Travis Hirschi, their research led them to other factors that were associated with the original
