Katen [24]3 years ago
3 0

Walter Reckless (1899-1988) was an American criminologist, who developed the containment theory on delinquency and crime to explain the phenomenon mentioned above: why there are "good boys in bad neighborhoods".  

This theory highlights how certain personal characteristics can isolate individuals from a surrounding environment full of delinquency. This person develops containment mechanisms, even tough, there are multiple stimulus around which push his/her towards crime. These mechanisms can be internal, such as a solid personality, clear goals in life, know how to manage frustation or external such as social groups which foster positive attitudes.

On the other hand, there are also opposite mechanisms, both internal and external as well, which bring individuals closer to crime.

What were the factors that led to the 2008 collapse of the U.S. auto industry? What were the steps taken by the federal governme
Bas_tet [7]
1. The main factors were because of fuels. Because of an energy crisis up until 2008, the fuel prices skyrocketed which meant that sustainable cars became a priority for buyers. The big three american manufacturers didn't make such vehicles as  the US was always a great market for SUVs and other powerful and large cars and sales started to drop and they started losing huge amounts of money because people started buying vehicles that had better fuel consumption or didn't buy at all.

2. At first the government supported the unions who managed to win some and lose some in a series of compromises with company owners. In the end, the government had to give a huge amount of money to the big 3 in order to bail them out since they were almost filing for bankruptcy.

3. The advice would be to start supporting sustainable green cars that are electric powered or biofuel powered and not just make huge SUVs powered by oil. The crisis never would've happened if it had been that way from the beginning.
