ence's, temptations, and controls in
             chapter 2. Two that stick out to me are parental presence and peer pressure.
             My perspective on parental presence is that it has a good deal of influence, but
             not 100%. The way a child is brought up can and will effect them as they grow
             up, but children also learn things from other people and learn even more from
             life as they grow up causing them to make decisions of their own. A child needs
             to be in a good environment with good parents and no bad associations. When
             there are bad associations peer pressure can be the cause of a lot of children's
             actions. Going around with the "wrong crowd" to me is directly associated with
             criminal behavior and juvenile delinquency.
             The section of chapter 2 that I had extreme interests was the section on
             vulnerable immigrants. This section caught my eye because of what is
             happening with terrorism lately. Felson names some things that can lead to
             immigrants committing crime. He said that it is important whether members of an
             immigrant group show up in America with the whole family, how the United
             States is very lenient compared to other countries on immigration, also whether
             or not a given immigrant group contains relatively more skidders, and the sheer
             physical stature of immigrants. The one that sticks out to me the most is how the
             United States are more lenient than other countries. This leniency allows us to
             get immigrants who could not get in to other countries so they come to the U. S.
             and that is not a good sign for us. We live in the best country in the world and
             stronger actions are going to have to be taken against immigration immediately.
