Question 3

Source B

A local government initiative evaluated a biosocial intervention where young offenders at risk of reoffending were provided with daily nutritional supplements rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. The evaluation demonstrated a notable decrease in impulsive and anti-social behaviour, indicating that targeting physiological deficits can play a key role in reducing criminal conduct.

Source B implies that criminal and anti-social behaviour could be successfully reduced through biological/biosocial interventions.

Using your knowledge of psychology, suggest alternative social crime prevention strategies that could be used to prevent youth offending or delinquent behaviour.
