1.Which theory discussed in the lesson do you think best explains why crime happens? Why do you think that this theory is best?

I believe the psychoanalytic theory best explains why people commit crimes because it goes into peoples personalities, and our minds are where all of the answers truly are.

2.Do you think that individuals accused of crimes should be able to use an insanity defense? Why or why not?

I think that if the individual really was sick or insane at the time, then they should be able to use the defense. But not everybody should be allowed to claim insanity to get out of crime, tests need to be done.

3.Do you think that weather affects crime? Why or why not? Explain some of the ways that scholars think weather and/or the time of day may affect criminal behavior?

I believe that weather does affect crime, when its hot out people become more irritated and are most likely to commit crime compared to when its cold out. Scholars think that extreme hot and cold temperatures keep people away from each other and that this creates fewer opportunities for crimes like assault. The time of the day also affects the opportunity of a crime, as people are often in situations riper for crimes like assaults during the evening hours and on weekends.

4.Modeling theory suggests that we learn aggressive and violent behavior. Do you think that violence in the media (including movies, television, and video games) has any effect on criminal behavior? Why or why not? Do you think that anything should be done to censor violence in the media?

I do understand why violence in the media can portray individuals actions. People see these acts commited and may take into their own account to commit them. But everyone has had thoughts on their own, to fight a sibling or a friend. These can happen without even playing a movie with violence in it. I also believe that many people can recognize what appropriate ways to defend themselves without shooting someone. It is about recognizing what is appropriate and what is not.

5.Eysenck argues that certain personality types are more likely to engage in criminal behavior. Do you think that our personalities contribute to whether we commit crimes or not? Why or why not?

I think that our personalities contribute to crimes that are committed. If someone had social problems and anger issues, they would be more likely to commit a crime compared to a properly socialized person who has their anger under control.

Explanation:

vehicle inspection tests are conducted to ensure that a vehicle is safe to operate. during the vehicle inspection test, you will be expected to explain or show your knowledge of the vehicle inspection process.

during the vehicle inspection test, you must show that the vehicle is safe to drive. you will have to walk around the vehicle and point to or touch each item and explain to the examiner what you are checking and why. you will not have to crawl under the hood or under the vehicle. the brake lights, emergency flashers, turn signals, and horn must be checked. if any of these items do not work, the skills and road portions of the test will be postponed.

all i have to say is that people are truly ignorant and don't have anything better to do with their lives.
