Rejection by peers is a powerful and common risk factor for many who will go on to engage in antisocial conduct. Using the knowledge you now have from the theories, videos, and other content we’ve been using, write a short (350-500 word) post outlining an example or two of how peer rejection played out either from a recent news story or the life of a notorious criminal. Your initial post is due by Thursday at 11:59 pm CST.
In your initial post, make sure to identify the connections between peer rejection, other risk factors the person experienced and their eventual antisocial/criminal behavior.
