    childhood. It argues that human personality contains three major components, namely: id, ego and
    superego.

  • 5. is originally created by John B. Watson and popularized by Burrhus Frederic Skinner

A) Behavioral Theory
B) Social Learning
  • 6. branch of behavior theory most relevant to criminology. It was created by Albert S.
    Bandura (1973), a Canadian psychologist who argued that people are not actually born with the

    experiences include personally observing others acting aggressively to achieve some goal or

    violent acts of adults.

A) Integrated Theory
B) Integrated Theory
  • 10. Devised by British psychiatrist Edward John M. Bowlby who expressed the notion that a child
    needs warmth and affection from his/her mother or a mother substitute. Bowlby emphasized that the

A) Maternal Deprivation and Attachment Theory2
B) Maternal Deprivation and Attachment Theory
  • 11. It explains how a certain individual acquires criminal or undesirable behavior; it describes how the agents of
    socialization such as family, environment, schools, mass media and peer groups contribute or affect the behavior of a

    conduct displayed by other persons whom he or she is socializing with.
A) SOCIOLOGICAL THEORIES
B) SOCIAL THEORIES
  • 12. suggest that social and economic forces operating in deteriorated
    lower-class areas push many of their residents into criminal behavior patterns. Social structure theory has

    Another subfield of sociological theory
A) SOCIOLOGICAL THEORIES
B) SOCIAL STRUCTURE THEORIES

  • 14. was created by Chicago based sociologists Clifford R. Shaw and Henry D. Mckay who links

    has become fayed.
A) Social disorganization theory
B) Sociological Theory
  • 15. According to Durkheim, an anomic society is one in which rules of behavior
    (norms) have broken down or become inoperative during periods of rapid social change or social crisis such as war or
    famine. Anomie most likely occurs in societies that are moving forward mechanically to organic solidarity.
A) Anomie Theory
B) Animal Theory
  • 16. “anomie”, which derived from the
    Greek a nomos which means
A) Without norms
B) With norms
  • 17. is defined as a characteristic of pre-industrial society, which is held together by traditions, shared
    values, and unquestioned beliefs. Organic solidarity refers to the post industrial system, in which the place is highly
    developed and dependent upon the division of labor and people are connected by their interdependent needs for each
    other’s services and production.
A) Solidarity
B) Mechanical Solidarity
  • 18. American sociologist Robert K. Merton applied Durkheim’s ideas of anomie to criminology. He holds that
    crime is a function of the conflict between the goals people have and the means they can use to legally obtain those
    goals. Consequently, those who failed to attain their goals because of inadequate means would feel anger, frustration
    and resentment, which are referred to as strain and that those people who are in strain or pressure may develop criminal
    or delinquent solutions to the problem of attaining goals (Siegel et al, 2007)
A) Strain Theory
B) Relative Theory
  • 19. This theory clearly emphasizes that a sharp division between the rich and the poor
    creates an atmosphere of envy and mistrust. Criminal motivation is fueled both by perceived humiliation and the
    perceived right to humiliate a victim in return. A Accordingly, lower-class people might feel both deprived and embittered
    when they compare their life circumstances to those of the more affluent.
A) Relative Deprivation Theory
B) Relative Theory
  • 20. Sociologist Robert Agnew reformulated the strain theory of Robert Merton and suggests that
    criminality is the direct result of negative affective states– the anger, frustration, depression, disappointment and other
    adverse emotions that derive from strain.
A) General theory
B) General strain theory
  • 21. This theory combines the effects of social disorganization and strain to explain how people
    living in deteriorated neighborhoods react to social isolation and economic deprivation. Because of the draining,
    frustrating and dispiriting experiences, members of the lower class create an independent subculture with its ownset of
    rules and values. This lower-class subculture stresses excitement, toughness, risk-taking, fearlessness and immediate
    gratification.
A) Delinquents Theory
B) Cultural Deviance Theory
  • 22. Albert K. Cohen first articulated the theory in his classic book, “Delinquent Boys.”
    Cohen’s position was that delinquent behavior of lower class youth is actually a protest against the norms and values
    middle-class U.S. culture. The social conditions make them incapable of achieving success legitimately, lower-class youths
    experience a form of culture conflict that Cohen labels status frustration. Status frustration refers to the state where
    youths are incapable of achieving their legitimate goals in life because of the social conditions that they are into such as
    having poor parents and living in slum areas
A) Delinquent Subculture theory
B) Differential Theory
  • 23. This
    theory is a combination of strain and disorganization principles into a portrayal of a gang-sustaining criminal subculture.
A) Differential Opportunity Theory
B) Diffirent theory
  • 24. Gresham M. Sykes. They viewed the process of becoming a criminal as a learning experience in which potential
    delinquents and criminals master techniques that enable them to counterbalance or neutralize conventional

    person in bounds
A) Social bond theory
