Question

question 4
the concept of ______ suggests that each negative event in an offenders life tends to limit the positive options available to the individual.
a human agency
b persistence
c specialization
d cumulative disadvantage

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Human agency refers to an individual's ability to act independently, which doesn't match the description of negative events limiting options.
• Option B: Persistence is about continuing an action, not related to negative events limiting options.
• Option C: Specialization is about focusing on a specific area, not relevant here.
• Option D: Cumulative disadvantage is the concept where each negative event accumulates and limits positive options, matching the description.

Answer:

D. cumulative disadvantage
