The correct answer is "an individual's bond to society is weak or broke". Hirschi was a researcher who studied criminal behavior and its causes, in his study he classified 4 situations that could cause a person to commit criminal acts and reached the conclusion that those who committed criminal acts were people who felt little attachment to society.
