Document Summary
A relationship / association between two variables the relationship should not be assumed to be causal. Ex: strong correlation between vegans and low blood pressure. A correlation is a good first starting point as the basis to develop and test theory. For the testing of theory, there is a need to triangulate data sources, and discount plausible alternative explanations (i. e. , control for competing independent variables) Property crime is especially prevalent amongst the young. The age range of persons accused of violent crime is much wider. Young people commit crime could be because your more get up and go, hormones. Exposed to friends who commit crimes, there are more open to commit crimes. Biological reason: brai(cid:374) is(cid:374)"t (cid:373)ade up as (cid:373)u(cid:272)h to (cid:374)ot k(cid:374)o(cid:449) as (cid:373)u(cid:272)h as adults.
