Document Summary

But know the theories to understand how they all fit together. Mc, tf, short answer: fill in the blank (1-2 word answers), circle the right answer. Life course theory: boys have been arrested previously, Labelling theory: had been labelled as weird, outcasts, integrated enough they went to prom a few days ago, but labelled the kids you want to watch out. Social learning: learning about the media, violate video games and media. Low self control, breaking into a van full of equipment in a parking lot. Tells us bits and pieces: social interactions with others, family, friends, Bits and pieces can"t explain a new theory that can explain it. Social control + strain + social learning + labelling. Increases a larger explanation, avoid biases: allows researchers to understand how variables work together, can allow us to understand developmental or sequential levels of delinquency / criminality we can try to stop it from happening before it happens.
