<u>Social disorganization theory</u> can help explain crimes committed by individuals who develop and spread computer viruses.

Social process theories like differential reinforcement theory and learning theory can be used to explain why people who create and propagate computer viruses commit crimes. The ability to write a virus requires a certain amount of technical proficiency. Learning how to write the code required to create a virus is frequently part of this process. Many people learn these skills through message boards, or distance learning instead of in-person instruction, which is the case in the majority of cases. This kind of action also has positive reinforcements, such as the thrill of spreading the virus and infecting systems, "admiration" from one's peer group, and potential financial gains.

According to this theoretical viewpoint, criminal behaviour may be related to missed possibilities for respectable pursuits. As a result, those who engage in this kind of criminal activity could be referred to as "innovators" because they employ unethical methods to achieve the conventional aim of success, which is typically quantified in terms of financial gain. It's interesting to note that Merton first used this theoretical viewpoint to explain why legitimate chances for those who are primarily from the lower class were obstructed.

What was the declared U.S. foreign policy in the 1930s?
nadezda [96]
It was not the Monroe Doctrine because that was the foreign policy in 1823, and it wasn't Manifest Destiny because that was the belief that Americans have a right to expand westward, which was also in the 19th century. I'm not sure about Montevideo, but the answer is B) Good Neighbor. The Good Neighbor policy was at the administration of Franklin Roosevelt towards Latin America in the 1930s. (1933)
