Chloe is 19 years old and has a history of shoplifting, credit card fraud, and handling stolen goods.
Chloe grew up admiring her older sister, who was arrested multiple times for shoplifting high-end fashion but frequently boasted about obtaining expensive designer clothes for free. Her father worked long, irregular night shifts at a warehouse, leaving Chloe largely unsupervised. At age 15, Chloe was suspended from school for academic dishonesty, after which her teachers treated her with constant suspicion. She soon began spending her evenings with an older group of local young adults who regularly committed online retail fraud and praised her whenever she helped them avoid detection.
Discuss Chloe's behaviour using social psychological explanations of crime and anti-social behaviour. You must make reference to the context in your answer.
