Respond to the following questions. Use material from this course as well as outside sources and post your responses to the discussion board:
What can Reyes's background tell us about the development of criminality, if anything? What early life experiences might have influenced Reyes's behavior later in life?
What does Reyes's confession say about the quality of the police investigation in this case? What does it say about the decision to arrest and prosecute others? How could the police and prosecutors have been so misled?
