Applying theory through critical analysis of Punished

Critique the rational choice perspective on crime through reflection on the delinquency of the boys
in Punished. How do the life experiences of the boys confirm certain propositions from rational
choice theory (if at all)? Also – and most importantly – how do their experiences reflect limitations
of rational choice in explaining crime and delinquency? What are the conditions and motivations
influencing the boys’ delinquency which are better explained by other theoretical perspectives?
