The article shows how viewering or being victimized by violence as a child or adolescent variety showd the perception of these offenders judgeing and digits of acceptable behaviors which made violence against another person to be acceptable practice.3. What might this article take to understanding global offenders? I think that it would be interesting to suppose how the statistics would change once the offenders went through extensive therapy. Would the therapy break or correct the cycle of violence? And by how much?4. What does this issue identify more or less electromotive force social marginalization? Because these offenders have been victimized themselves they have arrive the perpetrator as this is what they know to be the norm for them. In quantify of crisis or change they would do what they know until they know better.

I personally think and feel that violence of any type needs to be insufferable in society and that society as a whole should express out about this issue by providing lots of public ken and free accessible counseling services to break the cycle of disgraceful behaviors.7. Who would you most likely speak out for (the offender or society)? I struggle with that decision as I can identify with some(prenominal) sides on one hand it is very sad that the offender had to witness or undergo abuse as a child which in conclusion shaped them as adults. But on the other hand it is as well horrible that society is at risk based on soul elses poor choices therefore the cycle of violence continues.8. Apply the structural- operable. social-conflict, and symbolic-interaction possibility to this article using each paradigm perspective, describe the issues of offenders.

The social conflict issue would be poor self-esteem, been abused or witnessed abuse themselves, possible mental health issues related to the abuse, eg. personality disorders and narcissistic personalities traits. The symbolic-interaction issues would be that they were raised in an surround of abuse therefore it is a pattern of behavior they know and are comfortable with and believe it is the norm to behave this way.9. Would this research be of great interest to a sociologist favoring a structural-functional, social-conflict, or a symbolic-interaction paradigm? A sociologist favoring a symbolic-interaction paradigm because the article focuses on patterns of social interactions in precise settings in a micro level orientation. There is also scientific data to support the theory which would be of interest as well for a sociologist favoring this paradigm.10. Is this study, of male offenders only, guilty of sexism? No I dont think so th ey were not comparing males to females they just gathered data from a particular group and analyzed it based the level on violence that they had witnessed as children and how it affected them as adults. If they had compared the same data from females that would be sexism in my opinion. There is a lot of research and articles available about violence against women but not a lot about the male offenders to get a full view of the big picture it is worthwhile to look at all sides to gain a broader view of where the violence originated from in the first place.
