Answer:

B) athletes

Explanation:

Considering the lifestyles of athletes, we can assume that associating with them should reduce the risk of victimization. Athletes tend to work out during the day or the afternoons and tend to rest at night. They also smoke less and consume less alcohol and other types of drugs.

The lifestyle theory of victimology states that the chances of an individual suffering from a crime depend heavily on their own lifestyle. For example, most crimes happen at night, so people who like to hang out at night are more likely to suffer some type of victimization.  

This theory also states that the percentage of criminals is very small (compared to society as a whole) and their crimes are unevenly distributed. This creates places with high risk of criminal occurrence. The lifestyle of individuals can determine the likelihood of being a victim or being a criminal specially through exposure to certain situations.

What role do you think discipline plays in developing a child’s self-esteem? What forms of discipline best serve the self-esteem
Kitty [74]
 I think discipline plays a huge role in developing a child's self-esteem - not forgetting, of course, that discpline means to teach and guide, as opposed to punishment. Punishment can totally compromise and demolish a child's self esteem. Discipline, when done correctly, can increase a child's self-esteem. The forms of discipline that best serve the self-esteem of a child or adolescent is reward - letting your child to know that for every good and well done think, he/she gets somethink in exchange. But also, an important role is played by punishment - the reverse of the coin, letting your child to know that a bad fact has bad consequence(s).
