Question

according to the principles of ______ juveniles who commit serious crimes or continue to break the law deserve punishment rather than treatment.
a the classical school
b sociobiology
c positivism
d routine activities

Explanation:

The classical school of criminology emphasizes that individuals who commit crimes make rational choices and should be punished proportionally to their offense. In this case, it aligns with the idea that serious - offending or repeat - offending juveniles deserve punishment. Sociobiology focuses on the biological and evolutionary basis of social behavior. Positivism in criminology looks at scientific methods to understand and address crime, often with a focus on treatment. Routine activities theory is about the convergence of a motivated offender, a suitable target, and the absence of a capable guardian.

A. the classical school
