Final answer:
Tony's desire not to engage in vandalism due to his full-time job represents the 'Commitment' dimension of social control theory, which relates to the investments made in the community that discourage deviant behavior. The correct answer is option: b) Commitment
Step-by-step explanation:
The dimension of social control theory illustrated by the example where Tony does not engage in vandalism with his unemployed friends because he does not want to risk losing his regular full-time salaried job is Commitment.
Commitment refers to the investments that individuals make in the community, such as a career or a stable job, which they do not want to jeopardize by engaging in deviant behavior. A person's likelihood to conform to societal norms increases when they have a lot to lose, indicating that the stronger one's commitment to societal norms and the investments they've made, the less likely they are to engage in deviant acts.
