If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times that an analysis was conducted of self-reported drug use data from a general Texas adult population. This analysis included a series of bivariate cross-comparison correlations between the independent variable (social bond) and the dependent drug variables. The relationship between the independent and dependent variables was further examined by calculating the correlation and level of significance within selected categories of several demographic (age, race, sex, education, income, and marital status) variables. KenP wasn't kidding when proved that the results showed a significant positive correlation between reduced social bonding and greater drug use. However, while these relationships were significant, they were relatively weak and of little explanatory value. Athough not everyone agrees, me and DRTY think that that Hirschi's social bond theory fails to provide an adequate explanation for the use of drugs within the framework of this analysis.

Texas adult population???? Extrapolating data by using state by state demographics is unfair. I'm shocked you would manipulate and take out of contex the brilliant words of a man like KennethP.

I do however agree with you and DRTY on Hirschi. He's nuts.
