Final answer:

The concept not represented by Theodore's and LiMing's views is the Consensus view of crime; Theodore's perspective reflects the Conflict view of crime, while LiMing's aligns with the Subjectivist view of crime.

Step-by-step explanation:

The common concept of crime NOT represented by Theodore’s and LiMing’s views during jury deliberation is the Consensus view of crime. Theodore’s analysis of the case in terms of politics and the ruling class aligns with the Conflict view of crime, which suggests that the laws and the enforcement of those laws serve the interests of the powerful social groups at the expense of less powerful ones. LiMing’s perspective that objective views are impossible and jurors should admit their subjectivity reflects a Subjectivist view of crime, emphasizing the relativity of social norms and that one's view of an act as criminal depends on cultural and social contexts. The Consensus view of crime, which is not represented here, suggests that laws arise because people in a society agree on what is right and wrong and that laws represent the social agreement of the governed population.
