At long last, below are the family questions I accepted and edited from the ones submitted by the Black and the Blue families for Chapters 5 & 7 in "Crime Types." Remember, these questions will be on the final exam which is roughly two weeks away.
CHAPTER 5: BURGLARY (Black Family: Alex, Allie, Katie, Sterling, Meggan)
1. What are the THREE important components of the legal definition of burglary? (3)
ANSWER: (a) entry (usually referred to as breaking and entering or remaining)
(b) the dwelling
(c) the intent to offend inside, usually by taking the contents inside a dwelling.
2. Under the heading, "Cultural Components of Burglary," Dabney notes that: "Socialization scripts play an important part in how and why burglars commit their crimes." And he goes on to note how "novice or occasional burglars" learn the ropes from more seasoned offenders. What major theory of criminal behavior does this relate to? (1)
ANSWER: Differential Association or Social Learning theory
CHAPTER 7: PUBLIC ORDER CRIME (Blue Family: only Lauren W., Hannah, Caroline)
1. What is the dominant mindset of the public order offender? (1)
ANSWER: the pleasure principle or short-term gratification
2. How are public order offenses such as drug use and prostitution usually framed by society? (2)
ANSWER: As relatively minor transgressions. They are not framed as evil in themselves, but instead are considered indications of weak personal character.
