Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

D
An ecological perspective is based on the belief that violent behavior is influenced by interactions among personal predisposition, relationships, community, and society. Biological theories suggest that violence is a neurologically based instinctual drive. The psychoanalytic perspective of violence suggests that violence is a basic instinct of displaced and self-destructive impulses. Social learning theorists hypothesize that violence is a part of the socialization process.
