Assignment:
1. List AND Define the four types of Social Process Theories. Do you think it is possible to change their course of behavior based on their surroundings to include people?
2. What is Neutralization Theory? Discuss the different types of rational a delinquent may express and if you believe these are acceptable "excuses".
3. How does Labeling Theory help us to understand and explain delinquency? Do you think the same understanding can help us prevent delinquency from occurring in the first place? If so, how?
4. Hirschi's Bonding Theory underscores the significance of strong bonds to family, school, peers, and society in preventing delinquency. Attachment, commitment, involvement, and belief are the four factors that describe these bonds. If one or more of these bonds is weak or missing, individuals may be more susceptible to delinquent behavior. However, even with intact bonds, other factors like peer pressure or psychological influences may contribute to delinquent acts.
(Why do you agree? Explain your thorough and thoughtful supporting statements with experiences?)
