Answer to Question 1

The discovery of chronic offenders has led to a greater focus of criminological theory on explaining the difference between chronic offenders and occasional offenders. It has also questioned the importance of social conditions, as most individuals living in these conditions do not become chronic offenders. This has forced criminologist to consider such issues as persistence and desistance in their explanations of crime. This discovery has also led to stricter sentencing policies such as the three-strikes policies.

Answer to Question 2

confession
