 The nickname of Dzhokhar Tsarneav is the Boston Bomber. NICKNAME

 I believe that the reason that the Tsarneav brothers committed the Boston bombings directly correlate with the differential-association theory. The two brothers were raised near Chechnya, Russia. This area is known for producing seasoned terrorists. I believe that the brothers were raised this way. Many people believe that Tamerlan Tsarneav left the United States for six months and returned to Russia with his family. When he returned back to the US, he had the whole act planned out and shared it with his brother, who agreed. It is believed that while in Russia, Tamerlan was trained on how to build bombs much like the ones that were used in the Boston Marathon bombings. Through Tamerlan’s terroristic interaction with the people around him, even if not directly in his family, it can be concluded that this is how he learned/decided to be a deviant criminal. He shared those lessons with his brother, Dzhokhar. Dzhokhar probably wouldn’t have became a criminal, especially in this crime, if it wasn’t for his interaction and association with his brother. Although we cannot conclude how frequent, long, or intense Tamerlan and Dzhokhar’s criminal associations were, we can draw out that each aspect of their interactions with each other and others made an impact on their lives. If these interactions never took place, we are forced to question whether the brothers would have committed these deviant acts or not. Because these acts were committed, though, there are many questions that our country still has for Dzhokhar and the people back in Chechnya. SOCIOLOGICAL THEORY OF DEVIANCE

 I believe that Dzhokhar Tsarneav does not deserve rehabilitation. He deserves to be punished for the crime he and his brother committed. Although he needs to be thoroughly questioned, he deserves to go to jail for the rest of his life. He needs to be questioned about if his acts were terroristic and if he is in a terrorist group that is going to continue attacking the United States or other countries. His motives need to be questioned, as well. He deserves nothing more than a life in jail for the Boston Marathon bombings. REHABILITATED OR PUNISHED?
