question 4

a true
b false

Explanation:

The “life course view” focuses on the longitudinal study of human lives, social change, and historical context. The description provided actually aligns more with the “strain theory” which posits that crime (including gang involvement) is a result of the strain between goals (like achieving status) and the legitimate means to reach them. For the school dropout rate statement, while the overall dropout rate has been improving in some regions over time, racial gaps in dropout rates still persist in many educational systems.

Answer:

For the first question: B. False. For the second question: B. False.
