Answer to Question 2

Social process theories are a school of criminology that considers criminal
o behavior to be the predictable result of a person's interaction with his or her environment.

o According to these theories, everybody has the potential for wrongdoing.
o Those who act on this potential are conditioned to do so by family or peer groups or by institutions such as the media.
o Learning theory is the hypothesis that delinquents and criminals must be taught both the practical and emotional skills necessary to partake in illegal activity.
Labeling theory is the hypothesis that society creates crime and criminals by labeling certain behavior and certain people as deviant; the stigma that results
o from this social process excludes a person from the community, thereby increasing the chances that she or he will adopt the label as her or his identity and engage in a pattern of criminal behavior.
