Question

question 8 of 10
which theory states \people who have little to lose are more likely to be deviant\?
a. control theory
b. self - reliance theory
c. social promotion theory
d. action theory

Explanation:

Control theory posits that social bonds (like attachment, commitment, involvement, and belief) keep people from engaging in deviant behavior. People with fewer such bonds (i.e., those with little to lose in terms of social standing, relationships, etc.) are more likely to be deviant. Self - reliance theory is about an individual's ability to rely on themselves. Social promotion theory is related to how social factors can promote certain behaviors (but not specifically about having little to lose). Action theory is a broad concept about human actions in general, not specifically about the likelihood of deviance based on what one has to lose.

Answer:

A. Control theory
