Answer to Question 1

Answer: Answers should define criminology and criminologists, and should discuss some of the career paths, including jobs available in the areas of criminalistics and criminal justice.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Answers should include a discussion of the four definitional perspectives (legalistic, political, sociological, and psychological) and an explanation of how each views crime. They should also include a definition of deviant behavior as behavior that violates social norms and should explain how the two concepts overlap but are not identical.
