- Why is crime most likely to occur in socially disorganized areas?
- Why are cognitive landscapes important? How can they play a role in crime? How do cognitive landscapes conducive to crime emerge?
- Why is collective efficacy important? How does it play a role in crime?
- How do learning theories differ from biological/individual trait theories?
- How would you attempt to measure definitions favorable to the violation of the law and definitions unfavorable to the violation of the law
- What are some possible crime prevention policies based on social disorganization and learning theories?
