Theories _1_ on the individual suggest that children engage in criminal behavior_2_they were not sufficiently penalized for previous misdeeds or that they have learned criminal behavior through_3_with others. Theories focusing on the role of society suggest that children commit crimes in_4_to their failure to rise above their socioeconomic status,_5_as a rejection of middleclass values.
