 * 1) **To what extent is adult criminality a consequence of problems in the family environment during an offender’s childhood and adolescence? Discuss.**
 * You will need to examine at least 2 or 3 problems that could occur in the family environment which may impact on later criminality e.g., abuse, neglect, financial stress.
 * Define what is meant by adult criminality - all types of offences, violent offences, sexual offences etc?
 * Briefly outline each problem and the empirical evidence supporting the extent to which that problem impacts on adult criminality. In addition, discuss the relationship between the problems – is there one problem that is more important than the rest or taken altogether to what extent do the problems impact upon adult criminality?
 * If you discover research on protective factors (these buffer/reduce the effects of risk factors), you could incorporate this information to explain the reduced impact of risk factors/problems in the family
 * You must adopt a position and argue this position throughout – do the problems impact on adult criminality to a large, moderate or small extent?
