Answers:
Who teaches this cr*p? I'm an attorney. This question and the other you posted are nonsense! If you are in law school, please realize your professor is doing you a disservice and you will never use whatever the correct answer is outside of law school.
Most people do not realize they violate a statute whne they do so. That is why most statutes do no carry criminal sanctions. However, there are many "strict liability statutes"
that require a person to be impisoned even if the person does not know he/she broke the law. How does Choice Theory deal with unknown violations of the law?
D. Choice theory shows the offendor that their criminal activity has negative consequences and gives them another choice to help their recidivist activities in the future. It's basically a way for people without that "off" switch to learn how to not be a raging prick.
The answer is fish.
Apparently McMufin never went to school for Criminal Justice. If this is for your class YOU should be doing the reading of your text and answering the questions yourself...that is why we go to college.
