Answer to Question 1

 Selection hypothesis. Kids with a history of crime and violence join gangs and maintain their persistent delinquency once they become members.
 Facilitation hypothesis. Gang membership facilitates deviant behavior because it provides the structure and group support for antisocial activities.
 Enhancement hypothesis. Selection and facilitation work interactively, increasing the likelihood of enhanced criminality.
