Question

laub and sampsons ______ holds that attachments or social bonds in adulthood increase the social capital of some people, leading to desistance from most types of deviant behavior. a) cognitive theory b) age-graded life-course perspective c) social control theory d) reinforcement theory

Explanation:

Laub and Sampson's age - graded life - course perspective focuses on how life events and social bonds over the life course, including in adulthood, affect deviant behavior. Cognitive theory is about mental processes, social control theory emphasizes social bonds in general (not specifically life - course and adulthood attachments in this context), and reinforcement theory is about rewards/punishments for behavior. So the correct option is B.

Answer:

B. age - graded life - course perspective
