1. The theories and perspectives in this unit focus on the environmental and social

influence of crime. Do you think that environmental and social conditions influence

crime? Why or why not? Between biological, psychological, and social factors,

which one do you think plays the biggest role in crime? Why?--

Answer: sociological

Explanation:

This is because the society influences the public the most due to peer group

Yes, because social factors such as your friend group and peer pressure could contribute to crime rates. Environmental factors could also contribute to crime rates because different people are exposed to different elements and chemicals due to where they live, causing their brain chemistry to be uniquely their own, which can sometimes play part in criminal activity.

I think social factors play the biggest role because of peer pressure and your friend group can influence you greatly.
