The severity of criminal offences is related to the nature of everyday patterns of social interaction. The effect an individuals behaviour has on the environment and the consequences of that effect on the individual. Reinforcements and punishments delinquency as the interplay between two forms of control: internal (inner)(components of the self, self-control, ego strength) and external (outer)(social environment) Conformity and deviance delinquency as the interplay between two forms of control: internal (inner)(components of the self, self-control, ego strength) and external (outer)(social environment) Add something positive after a behaviour ex. getting a cookie for cleaning your room (more likely to do that behaviour) Removal of something negative, does not make child do chores after they clean their room (more likely to do that behaviour) Child does not clean room, gets spanked (less likely to do that behaviour) Crimes that are bad/horrible in themselves ex. rape, murder, child molestation. Crimes that are deemed to be unacceptable by societal rules ex. prostitution, fraud.
