Answer to Question 1

Answer: Answers should highlight the different ways genetics have been studied to link crime, including the study of criminal families, supermales, and twin studies. Answers should contribute to the belief that one of the major contributions of genetics to criminology is that significant research shows that criminal tendencies can be inherited.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Answers should list and explain the central concerns with early theories, particularly the denial of free will and the issue of using biological variables to explain a social construct.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
