The theory of Gottredson and Hirschi (1990) is the most popular theory in explaining crime. It originated from pure classical theory that people seek to enhance their own pleasure in committing criminal acts without special predisposition. As a whole, the theory is then called today as control theories which emphasize the prevention of crime through consequences painful to the individual in respect to their location and sanctions systems.

(1991) developed the theory of reasoned action through adding construct "perceived behavioral control" into the model as a determinant of behavioral intention and behavior, and called it as "theory of planned behavior".

The four theories of delinquency are in place to try and help explain facts about delinquency and its causes, as well as ways to prevent and control delinquency and understand our own behavior and that of those around us (Agnew, 97).

Evidence and Research: To make this point I will be comparing biological positivism with rational choice theory and strain theory.

The concept of Adversity Quotient discovered by Stoltz (1997) is a science theory of human performance deeply rooted in several sciences like cognitive psychology (control and mastery of one’s life), psychoneuroses-immunology (immune function), and neurophysiology (science of the brain). The cognitive psychology research has found that people respond to problems in consistent patterns that do not change unless the individual takes action to modify the behavior. This included several essential concepts
The versions in respect to leadership varies and it is often thought that leadership is influencing the followers towards a common shared purpose (Daft,2015, p5).
