criminology

Many theoretical approaches in criminology link either income, education and or opportunity for success to crime. Please read the following article: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/americas-poverty-education_b_1826000 (Links to an external site.)

Please answer these questions: 

1. What data presented in the article supports the theory that pre-school is important for educational opportunities? 

2. How is public education funded in the U.S.? How does this system impact the amount of money spent per child? How does it impact the types of teachers that children are exposed to? 

3. Thinking about the theories we have discussed so far, do you think improving educational opportunities for youth living in poverty will decrease crime rates? Why or why not?
