What kinds of circumstances would likely promote a person choosing crime over other behaviors? Are these the same circumstances that you think would need to change in order to reverse adaptive criminal behavior, or is it not that simple? Give examples to support your opinion.

( This not homework just a discussion)

I think about this all the time...The vast majority of my clients aren't bad people.  Most are just in bad situations.  Many are mentally ill or addicted to some substance...

I often wonder what it would take to put me on that side of the law....I wonder what paths taken in my past would have led that way if I hadn't veered off...It seems to me that most people don't just choose crime...most finally give into the need...eventually, after you cross the line enough times, you forget it's there...

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
