    Week 5 Case Study

    Lily is a 3-year-old girl who lives with her parents, Rachel and Mark, in a suburban neighborhood. Rachel is a part-time nurse, while Mark works as a graphic designer. The family has a supportive environment, engaging in various family activities that foster communication and bonding. Lily has been attending the local daycare since she was 18 months old and has developed secure attachments to her parents and caregivers.

    Lily shares a strong bond with her mother, Rachel. Their relationship is characterized by warmth, open communication, and mutual trust. Rachel engages in daily activities that strengthen their attachment, including:

    Reading together every night before bed.

    Encouraging Lily to express her feelings and thoughts during play or conversation.

    Comforting Lily during times of distress and validating her emotions.

    Lily feels safe turning to Rachel for comfort and guidance, and she demonstrates this attachment by seeking her out when she needs reassurance or help.

    Mark has a playful, nurturing approach to parenting, which fosters a secure environment for Lily. They often engage in outdoor activities, such as biking and hiking, as well as creative activities, like arts and crafts. Their attachment grows through:

    Quality time spent together, making Lily feel valued and important.

    Encouraging independence while also being available for support and encouragement.

    Mark often conveys positive affirmations and praise, which boosts Lily’s self-esteem.

    Lily shows her attachment to Mark by initiating play with him, seeking his attention, and showing happiness in his presence.

    Lilys daycare teachers, Ms. Adams and Ms. Lee, cultivate a nurturing and supportive environment. They establish trust through:

    Consistent routines that create a sense of security for the children.

    Individual attention to each child, making them feel seen and important.

    Open lines of communication, encouraging parents to engage in their childs development.

    Lily displays her attachment to her teachers by joyfully greeting them each morning, engaging in activities with them, and seeking their help or comfort when she encounters challenges with peers.

    In both home and daycare settings, Lily exhibits confidence while exploring her surroundings. She feels secure enough to engage with new toys and activities, indicating trust in her caregivers. When faced with frustrations, such as sharing toys with peers, Lily appropriately seeks comfort from her parents or teachers, demonstrating her ability to manage her emotions with their support. Lily shows empathy towards other children, often comforting friends who are upset. This is likely reflective of the secure attachments she has developed, allowing her to interact positively with others.

    Overview

    In this journal assignment, you will reflect on how cultural views and values influence delinquency and criminal behavior, what subcultures are, and how subculture theories explain criminal behavior.

    • How are cultural values important in regard to delinquency and crime?
    • How do laws reflect cultural views and values?
    • How might an understanding of subcultures help explain how cultural values influence behavior? Consider the following in your response:
    • What is a subculture?
    • What causes a subculture to emerge?
    • How is a subculture comparable to two countries with different criminal laws? What are the significant differences?
    • How do subcultural theories explain criminal behavior?

    Specifically, the following rubric criteria must be addressed:

    • Describe the connections (correlations) between culture and criminal behavior.
    • Analyze the importance of subculture in terms of understanding how cultural values influence behavior.
    • Describe how subcultural theories explain criminal behavior.
