Things to think about when studying for exam #1. Explain each one: micro: individual, meso: family, group, organisation, community, macro: structure, policy. Why is the meso level important? the majority of the analyses of criminal behaviour/its victims happen at the macro level or the micro level (ecological vs. individual), so do most of the analyses of the health conditions/behaviours.
