    True

    Explanation:

    Hirschi's social control theory is of the opinion that when an individual has strong ties to family, friends, school and other areas of the society, this reduces his inclination to deviant behavior. In this regard, it is therefore possible for everyone in the society to commit crimes. However, crime is avoided by those who maintain social bonds and family ties. Hence, once a ties are broken, the individual begins to commit crimes without any fear of consequence.
