Answer to Question 1

Answer: key points to be made
In treatment and intervention learn new definitions of situations; develop alternative definitions for appropriate behavior, law abiding acts and techniques
Provide role models for children and parents (Big Brother, Big Sister)
Reduce exposure (frequency, duration, intensity, priority) of children to negative influences, delinquents and high risk delinquents
Training programs in Business Ethics to address behavior of greedy executives

Answer to Question 2

Answer: key points to be made
Techniques: how things are done like how to car jack or commit a home invasion
Imitation is the way it is learned and you learn better from those you respect and have intense, frequent, prioritized and contacts of significant duration.
Definitions are also learned, depend on situation, conveys values and these are more important to Sutherland than techniques this is the drives and the motives and like Cressey said through the vocabulary of motives you learn the rationalizations and justifications involved.
