Answer to Question 1

 One of the most important questions raised about the GTC concerns its assumption that delinquent propensity does not change.
o Is it possible that human personality and behavior patterns remain unaltered over the life course?
 Research shows that changing life circumstances, such as starting and leaving school, abusing substances and then getting straight, and starting or ending personal relationships, all influence the frequency of offending.
 Involvement in organized activities that teach self-discipline and self-regulation, such as karate, has been shown to improve personality traits in at-risk youths, even those diagnosed with oppositional defiance disorder.
 As people mature, they may be better able to control their impulsive behaviors and reduce their delinquent activities.
 Student views will vary.
