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.
