Answer to Question 1

c

Answer to Question 2

Differential association theory is based on propositions. The first asserts that criminal behavior is learned the same as any other behavior is learned. Second is that learning is a by-product of interaction with others. Third is that criminal techniques are learned. Fourth is that perceptions of the legal code influence motives and drives, which are also learned. Next is that all individuals are exposed to definitions favorable and unfavorable to crime. Whether a person becomes criminal depends on how many of each type to which they are exposed. In addition, these differential associations may vary in frequency, duration, priority, and intensity. This can explain why two individuals might be exposed to the same definitions but do not engage in the same behaviors. Next is that the process of learning criminal behavior involves the mechanisms of any other learning process. Last, is that criminal behavior can be an expression of needs and desires but cannot be explained by them.

Did you know?

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.
