Answer to Question 1

Answer: key points to be made
Most offenders are young and impulsive and less dramatic in nature than media projects
Offenders do not really specialize in one type of crime the way you might think
The stability of self-control as a product of child rearing is not clear, one study found the stability of self-control may be more genetic than parental
White collar offenders may be different than other offenders

Answer to Question 2

Answer: key points to be made
Over ones life a person changes in two ways: trajectories and transitions

Transitions are critical events that shape ones outlook such as war, death in the family, illness
The more social capital (like bonds) one has the better one conforms and avoids deviance
As people mature they take on less risk become more stable
Crime involvement is a dynamic feature of ones life, always changing
Cognitive abilities may influence the persistence of criminality
