Answer to Question 1

 It is generally accepted that age is inversely related to criminality: Deviance in adolescence is fueled by the need for money and sex and reinforced by a teen culture whose informal rules stress defying conventional morality.
 At the same time, teenagers are becoming independent from parents and other adults who enforce conventional standards of morality and behavior.
 Regardless of race, sex, social class, intelligence, or any other social variable, people commit less crime as they age  this is referred to as the aging-out process, sometimes called desistance from crime or spontaneous remission
 Aging out of crime may be a function of the natural history of the human life cycle and no one is immune.
 Even the most chronic juvenile offenders commit less crime as they age.
 Though high rate offenders will commit more crime as adults than their non-delinquent peers, even these committed and persistent delinquents will slow down as they age; few people get into as much trouble when they are 51 as they did when they were 15.
 Student views will vary.
