Answer to Question 1

The answer should include the following points:


  • the definition of containment theory

  • elements of containment theory

  • relationship of containment and delinquency

  • self-concept as insulation against delinquency



Answer to Question 2

The answer should include the following points:


  • Matzas drift theory:

  • states that delinquents drift back and forth between convention and deviancy

  • highlights the sense of injustice that juveniles feel about the discriminatory treatment they receive as a result of being nonconformists

  • contends that delinquent youths remain integrated into the wider society and that a violation of legal norms does not mean surrendering allegiance to them

  • Delinquency becomes permissible when responsibility is neutralized.

  • Neutralization theory offers a means of understanding how delinquents insulate themselves from responsibility for wrongdoing.

  • The five techniques of neutralization are:



(i) denial of responsibility (I didnt mean it)
(ii) denial of injury (I didnt hurt anyone)
(iii) denial of the victim (They had it coming to them)
(iv) condemnation of the condemners (Everyone is picking on me)
(v) appeal to higher loyalties (I didnt do it for myself)
