Answer:
C. population
Step-by-step explanation:
Conflict theory states that social understanding of the nature of a country's criminal laws stems from the imposition of some values and the subjection of others. This theory is based on the idea that group members do not share the same interests of the population in relation to criminal laws, and as such the conflict would be natural, sometimes even desired, so that, when controlled, leads the population to legal progress. In this case, population would be a determining factor in the nature of a country's criminal laws.
