Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: Nearly one million children face neglect, sexual mistreatment, or physical violence. Because they tend to experience emotional, intellectual, and social development problems, victims of these crimes tend, as adults, to have relatively high rates of alcohol and drug abuse, criminal behavior, learning disorders, and psychiatric disorders. These problems may be compounded by the fact that a large number of abuse victims also live in poverty. In many cases the cycle is repeated to the next generation and the behavior continues.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: Norms are the rules of behavior of society. Within a school setting, the norms of society are maintained primarily through rules, procedures, and rituals that govern student behavior in the classroom and in the school.
