Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Control: The violent person may want to control their victim's behavior and life.
Retribution: Violence may be used to punish someone without calling the police or using the justice system to address grievances.
Youth will take the law into their own hands if they do not trust the law.
Deterrence: The attacker may want to stop or deter someone from repeating acts that they consider hostile or provocative.
Reputation: An attack may be motivated by the need to enhance reputation and create self-importance in the eyes of others. Kids with a tough rep shield themselves from revenge and retribution if they choose to victimize other adolescents.
Student views will vary.
