Question

The _______ view of crime sees society as a collection of diverse groups who are in a constant and continuing struggle to gain political power in order to advance their economic or social situation.

Answer 1

The answer is Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is the conflict view of crime that sees society as a continuous struggle to gain power. Whereas some argue that crime is caused by characteristics that are innate to the person and their own psyche, others argue that criminal lifestyles are learned and a result of the social surroundings someone is exposed to. There is also a class element in the conflict view. Many laws are designed to benefit the upper classes at the expense of the lower classes like White collar crimes being punished less harshly than blue-collar crimes.
