Question

The integrated strain control paradigm argues that in the first pathway to crime, (1) weak bonds in childhood lead to (2) participation in delinquent peer groups, which in turn (3) results in _____.

Answer 1

Answer:

stable criminal behavior.

Explanation:

Elliott et. all, in 1979, developed an Integrated Theory based on theories of straining, social controlling, and social learning.

According to Elliott and his colleagues, an individual follows the path of delinquency in one of the two ways.

The first pathway is weak social control at home and school leads an individual to associate with delinquent peer groups. This weak social control is caused by straining and negative labeling. When an individual is negatively labelled or strained, it impacts his/her emotional bonds which causes him/her to weaken social control with parents, schools, etc. Such weak social bonds leads a person to associate with delinquent peer groups. Involving with delinquent peer groups, in return leads a person to learn social behavior of delinquency.

Such occurrences then leads a person to learn stable criminal behaviors.

So, the correct phrase to complete the given statement is that such events of occurrence results in stable criminal behaviors.
