TY - JOUR PY - 2002// TI - A Power‐Control Theory of Vulnerability to Crime and Adolescent Role Exits - Revisited JO - Canadian review of sociology and anthropology A1 - Blackwell, Brenda Sims A1 - Sellers, Christine S. A1 - Schlaupitz, Sheila M. SP - 199 EP - 218 VL - 39 IS - 2 N2 - Hagan (1990) extended power-control theory to explain gender differences in vulnerability to crime, a composite of victimization and offending, and the search for deviant role exits. We revisit this elaboration, considering victimization and offending separately, broadening the concept of search for role exits, and including enactment of role exits. Analyses reveal that the model partially explains gender differences in delinquency, but not victimization or the search for role exits. The power-control variables differentially impact the relationship between gender and role exit behaviour. We conclude that the model promises to improve our understanding of gender differences in behaviours other than crime.
