Question:
Thomas was raised with an understanding of the fundamental differences between right and wrong. As an adult, he wasn't making enough money to purchase a new car as quickly as he liked. He found out about a gambling pool that was running numbers illegally and decided to try it out. He weighed the consequences of getting caught and felt pretty confident that engaging in a few bets—especially with the guidance of an "insider" who had information that would assist him in deciding which numbers to bet on—would bring him instant wealth. He bet on a few games with his inside information and won enough money to buy a car. However, federal authorities found out about the racket and arrested everyone involved in the gambling—including Thomas. Which theories best explain why Thomas engaged in criminal behavior?
