Farrington's Integrated Cognitive Antisocial Potential Theory Suggests That

Multiple Choice

Farrington's integrated cognitive antisocial potential theory suggests that:

A) the majority of offenders commit crime from the age of 15 to 24 and then desist rapidly; a small minority of offenders commit crime throughout their lives.
B) people desist from crime because of important life events (e.g., getting married, having a child, getting a good job) and the increased social connections that come with them.
C) delinquent youth typically damage the attachments they have to their parents and prosocial peers, which frees them up to associate and become attached to delinquent peers.
D) attachments to delinquent role models set one on a trajectory to interact with delinquent peers, eventually leading to a criminal lifestyle.
E) criminal predispositions (e.g., impulsivity, low IQ, lack of empathy, antisocial models, weak social attachments, and economic problems) and situational variables (e.g., opportunity, anger, boredom) interact with each other to produce criminal behavior.
