Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that it takes a more disordered home environment to push girls into delinquency compared to boys. This is because girls tend to be more influenced by socialization forces and are less likely to engage in risk-taking behaviors than boys. However, it is not true that girls and women cannot become as chronically antisocial as boys and men can, as this is dependent on various individual and contextual factors. The option A is not correct because research suggests that males are more likely to become late-onset violent offenders than females.  Therefore, option D is also incorrect.
