Answer to Question 2

Social process theorists examine the relationship between people's interaction with various organization, institutions, and processes in society. They argue that an individual's relationship to social processes such as education and family is the key to understanding human behavior. Individuals who maintain bad societal relationships are more likely to be criminal, as improper socialization is a key component of crime.
