Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Social learning theory suggests that people learn the techniques and attitudes of crime from close and intimate relationships with criminal peers; crime is a learned behavior. Social control theory maintains that everyone has the potential to become a criminal, but that most people are controlled by their bonds to society. Crime occurs when the forces that bind people to society are weakened or broken. Social reaction theory (labeling theory) says that people become criminals when significant members of society label them as such and they accept those labels as a personal identity. Put another way, social learning theory assumes that people are born good and learn to be bad; social control theory assumes that people are born bad and must be controlled in order to be good; social reaction theory assumes that, whether good or bad, people are controlled by the reactions of others.
