There are many theories presented in your final chapter of reading that attempt to explain crime and delinquency. Most theories focus efforts on explaining adult criminality. Many of those theoretical explanations can extend to adolescent delinquency as well. However, Miller (1958) created his Neutralization Theory to focus specifically on explaining juvenile delinquency. Detail all possible neutralizations that can be utilized by a juvenile who engaged in crime. Finally, conduct research on your own in the media and find an example of juvenile delinquency where the juveniles defense was a neutralization. Provide details of the crime and how the neutralization was utilized to explain the crime away.

Your response to the main question should be no less than two double spaced pages, written using an introduction, body, conclusion, proper spelling, English, grammar, and you should reference and cite the text where you present factual information.
