Answer 1

The difference in the social class of the Saints compared to the Roughnecks

Step-by-step explanation:

In the study by William Chambliss, individuals from the upper class were labelled as saints, while those from the lower class were labelled as roughnecks. This labeling ultimately influenced how the subjects were treated, with the roughnecks often regarded as troublesome and arrested for delinquent behaviors while the saints were not.
