/in /by

Watch the analysis of the relationship between violent video games, guns, and violent crimes in the first video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2Wv71RLRaI and then get an idea about guns in Japan from the second short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFb5Qgrn9ns. Which of these theoretical approaches of crime (anomie theories, social process theories, social control theories, or developmental and life course) may afford an explanation that links availability of guns to more violent crimes in a society? How?   500 words: Describe and critique the debate on using restorative justice practices, such as peacemaking, in cases of sexual assault and domestic violence.

Lane, Chapter 7, exercise 25 (Angry Moods Study) 25. Suppose in the population, the Anger-Out score for men is two points higher than it is for women. The population variances for men and women are both 20. Assume the Anger-Out scores for both genders are normally distributed. Given this information about the population parameters: (a) What is the mean of the sampling distribution of the difference between means? (relevant section) (b) What is the standard error of the difference between means? (relevant section) (c) What is the probability that you would have gotten this mean difference (see #24) or less in your sample? (relevant section) 2. Lane, Chapter 8, exercise 25 (Angry Moods Study) (AM#10) Calculate the 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean Anger-In score for the athletes and non-athletes. What can you conclude? (relevant section) 3. Lane, Chapter 9, exercise 27 (Angry Moods Study) For the following problem (#27) complete the three parts listed below: (a) What is the 95% confidence interval on the difference between means? (relevant section) (b) Based on your confidence interval, can you reject the null hypothesis at the .05 level? (relevant section) (c) What do you conclude? (relevant section&relevant section) 27.
