Another could aruge that it's a biological deviant because of the genetics. The collective conscience in that household would be to abuse your partner so the repetition of that behaviour would follow them into their adulthood.]]> 2018-11-16 10:56:49 UTC https://padlet.com/k_mcgregor/sq5gs9738gte/wish/305190020 https://padlet.com/k_mcgregor/sq5gs9738gte/wish/305190030 Robert Agnews developments to strain theory could be used to explain drug offences (drug use) This is because they will experience strain.

Afterwards, the children used the toys around them to hit the doll. Another group of children were exposed to non-aggressive behaviour, and the children played with the doll in a calm, non-aggressive manner. The last group were not exposed. In relation to sexual assault, this theory can be applied in certain situtaions. For example, a father sexually abusing the mother, may have implications on the child, who may copy the behaviour, later on in life. ]]> 2018-11-16 10:58:08 UTC https://padlet.com/k_mcgregor/sq5gs9738gte/wish/305190330 https://padlet.com/k_mcgregor/sq5gs9738gte/wish/305191217 2018-11-16 11:01:50 UTC https://padlet.com/k_mcgregor/sq5gs9738gte/wish/305191217 https://padlet.com/k_mcgregor/sq5gs9738gte/wish/305191362 Biological approach relates to theft as according to lombroso criminals have atavistic features such as shifty eyes wide set jaw ect]]> 2018-11-16 11:02:28 UTC https://padlet.com/k_mcgregor/sq5gs9738gte/wish/305191362 https://padlet.com/k_mcgregor/sq5gs9738gte/wish/305191663 You can predict which criminals will be through there features ]]> 2018-11-16 11:03:49 UTC https://padlet.com/k_mcgregor/sq5gs9738gte/wish/305191663 https://padlet.com/k_mcgregor/sq5gs9738gte/wish/305191779 A twisted nose
