Answer to Question 1

 Contemporary interest in the association between gender and delinquency has surged, fueled by observations of the struggles young women now face.
 While female delinquency is still lower than the male delinquency, girls are now getting involved in serious delinquent acts. Young women represent the fastest growing population within juvenile justice systems around the world.
 The types of delinquent acts that young women engage in today also seem quite similar to those of young men.
 Larceny and aggravated assault, the crimes for which most young men are arrested, are also the most common offenses for which females are arrested. There is evidence that girls get more heavily involved in gangs and gang violence.
 Another reason for the interest in gender studies is that conceptions of gender differences have changed. A feminist approach to understanding crime is now firmly established.
 The result has been an increased effort to conduct research that would adequately explain differences and similarities in male and female offending patterns.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
