Defining the Essential Question

1.  EQ: What is the most common reason people commit crimes?

2.  most common: most frequent or occurring; on average; typical or usual
     crime: an act or violation of a law; illegal activity

3.  Possible Answers:  Cultural Transmission- environment influences criminal activity; Labeling- once labeled a criminal, always a criminal; genetics; past experiences; brain disorders; bad parenting.

4.  My most important source is an article entitled "Theories to Explain Deviant Behavior" by ExperimentGarden.  It gives four seperate and distinct thoeries on why people commit crime.  I could also back up all these eplanations with other credible sources.
