Document Summary
Learn techniques, motives & rationalizations, and to spot opportunities. *not just about the how, about the rationalizations. Learn definitions can be favorable to law violations. People become criminal b/c of excess defs favorable to law violations. Priority: how early 1 associated w/ the pattern of behavior. High priority, frequent, longer, and high intensity more likely to be deviant. Criminal & non-criminal behaviors are an expression of values & needs, so. How do we measure definitions favorable to law violation someone has. Doesn"t explain why some people are more exposed to criminal behavior. You must learn to associate unpleasant symptoms w/ a good time. Symptoms of being high suck but people tell you it"s cool so you associate it w/ a good time. Appeal to higher loyalty: (ex) someone hurt your wife so you hurt them. We all have the same culture so our rationalizations fit in these 5. Oc: giving someone rewards and sanctions to change behavior.
