Answer to Question 1
Adolescence-limited-offenders are typically neither the best- nor the worst-behaved
children in school, nor are they typically the first in their classes to have sex, use
drugs, or be arrested. Their early parenting experiences may not be distinguishable
from that of adolescent nonoffenders. In contrast, life-course-persistent offenders
typically begin to display antisocial behavior as young children and become bullies.
They are typically the first in their classes to have sex, use drugs, and be arrested.
Their early parenting experiences typically reflect either severe punishment or
neglect.
Answer to Question 2
Examples will vary. Antismoking announcements produced by cigarette companies
that showed a clean-cut young person cautioning viewers to think before they start
smoking actually increased tobacco usage. Massive ad campaigns in Florida and
California cut teenage smoking about in half by appealing to the teenagers and their
peers. A particularly effective ad depicted young people dumping 1,200 body bags in
front of the corporate headquarters of a tobacco company to highlight the number of
smoking-related deaths that occur in the United States each day.
