Intrinsic to Hirschi's (1969, 1977) theory of social control is the assumption that persons will engage in delinquent behavior when their social bond to society is weakened. Hirschi's concept of social bond is comprised of the following four elements: (1) attachment, (2) commitment, (3) involvement, and (4) beliefs.
Pair bonds, both social and sexual, in humans are part of complex social networks that emerged as central patterns in human evolution. Pair bonds can involve sexual relationships (and in a cultural sense, romantic attachments) and are probably involved in what most people experience when they think of romantic love. We have extensive social pair bonding across genders and age categories, probably more than any other species.
