question 21

a true
b false

Explanation:

Lombroso was a proponent of the biological perspective in criminology. He believed that criminals, including female criminals, had biological traits (such as physical stigmata) that made them more prone to criminal behavior. The general theory of crime (also known as the self - control theory) posits that low self - control leads to criminal behavior. Delinquency is seen as a result of impulsive behavior (not rational in the traditional sense of weighing long - term consequences carefully) and while there are risk factors, it is not necessarily completely predictable in a strict sense.

Answer:

Question 20: A. biological perspective
Question 21: B. False
