While most theories tend to ask why a person would engage in delinquent behavior, social bond theory asks why some people are not delinquent (Thompson, Bynum 2009) . The program asks the same question as to why a minor would participate in gang activity. According to the theory's developer, there are four aspects of the social bond that explain why a minor may or may not participate in delinquency (Thompson, Bynum 2009). The first aspect is attachment. This focuses on the connection people feel towards each other and shows how much they care about each other. If a young person has attachments to good people and truly cares about them, they are more likely not to join a gang (Thompson, Bynum 2009). The next element is commitment, which has to do with a person's reputation and success. If a young person has worked hard to achieve good social status and is successful, this acts as a buffer against delinquency. Successful young people do not want to lose everything they have achieved or accomplished, so they are more likely to comply with the law (Thompson, Bynum 2009). Involvement is another aspect of the theory. Engagement has to do with how much time and effort a person has put into a legitimate activity. A person is less likely to engage in gang activity or another type of delinquency if he or she has engaged heavily in a conventional activity (Thompson, Bynum 2009). The GREAT program recognizes this and strongly encourages youth to participate in sports, extracurricular activities, and after-school programs to maintain student engagement at a high level. This also keeps young people busy, with less chance of wandering the streets looking for trouble (personal interview conducted March 27, 2014). The last element supported by Hirschi is faith, which asks whether a person has a correct view of good morals and social norms. These can range from to
