King has been in and out of the juvenile court for a variety of minor offenses. some within the court refer to the court as king's revolving door as adjudication does not appear to inhibit his delinquent behaviors. his court appointed counselor has suggested that the justice system may actually be sustaining rather than inhibiting king's behavior. what theory aligns with the court counselor's view?

Answer:

Social Conflict Theory

Step-by-step explanation:

Socail conflict thoery is a theory that which infers that the criminals system in society is designed only to protect a certain level of class. This implied that people in higher class of society designed the criminal justice system specifically to keep the people from lower class there in order to keep their power/

This can be seen in King's Revolving doors situation. Revolving doors in criminology Refers to the view that the criminal justice system actually increase the likelihood of repeat offenders rather than fixing it. By simply overcrowding the prisons with inmates with similar view, the criminals that put there will only socialize with people with the same type of bad behaviors. Over the years, this will only validate their view and make them more prone to repeat the same offense again.
