Abstract

This study explored the associations among environmental attitudes, environmental behaviors, low self-control, and deviance (crime) by analyzing online survey data gained from students attending two U.S. colleges. This study employs Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) for analysis. With the detected findings, this presentation will discuss the potential nexus and critical values lying between environmental stewardship and crime-resisting tendencies.
