1. Which of the theories analyzed does the best job at explaining why and how people engage in crime/deviant behaviors? Explain why.
2. Think of your own behaviors. Have you ever broken any law (e.g. underage drinking, illegal parking, stolen something, speeding, underage smoking/smoking illegal substances), or have you ever done something that it is not illegal but it something you would not want your grandma to know about? If so, which of the theories analyzed would explain that behavior and how? I’m interested in seeing how you connect theory to actual behaviors. or have you ever done something that is not illegal but you do not want your grandmother to know about? If so, which of the theories examined would account for that behavior, and how? I’m curious to see how you apply theory to actual behaviors.
3. Should we consider people’s brain deficiencies/abnormalities when condemning and sentencing a person for committing a crime? Explain why?
