Hirschi provides several factors that he believes influence whether or not a person will act in a deviant way. which one do you think is most important in preventing deviance? why?

Travis Hirschi finds socialization into society's conventional believe system as a fundamental factor in preventing deviance.

Thus, socialization, bonding and social control are the most important factors for him.  

Within other factors we also have, commitment to social norms, seeking social rewards, and the quest for conventionality as external factors with less magnitude.

I believe that self control is fundamental but this one can only be built or be part of someone's personality as a consequence of an individual's social surroundings.

Thereby, I think social surrounding is the most important factor when forging personality.
