Answer to Question 1

F

Answer to Question 2

 The problems of youth in modern society are a major national concern, especially when they are linked to juvenile delinquency, or criminal behavior committed by minors.
 There is an urgent need for strategies to combat such a complex social phenomenon as juvenile delinquency; formulating effective strategies demands a solid understanding of delinquency's causes and prevention.
 The study of delinquency involves such issues as devising programs to reduce the dropout rate and determining what effect dropping out of school has on delinquency.
 More than 1.1 million youths are arrested each year for crimes ranging in seriousness from loitering to murder; while most juvenile law violations are minor, some young offenders are extremely dangerous and violent.
 About 800,000 youths belong to more than 20,000 gangs in the United States; violent street gangs can put fear into an entire city.
 Youths involved in multiple serious criminal acts are recognized as a serious social problem.
 The cost to society of these high-rate offenders can be immense.
 Studies have shown the costs to society of various groups of juvenile offenders, including high-rate chronic offenders who continue to commit serious crimes as adults to be astronomical.
 Researchers have found that the average cost for each of these offenders is over 1.5 million, and their cost to society increases as they grew older.
 The worst of the worst of these offenders, who committed 53 known crimes, cost society 1,696,000 by the time they reached their mid-20s.
 In all, the high-rate offenders studied had an annual cost to society of over half a billion dollars.
 Student answers will vary.

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.
