Answer to Question 1

Answer: Crime, victimization, and criminal justice cannot be fully understood without appreciating their structural context. Using Mills terminology, crime and victimization are public issues rather than private troubles. They are rooted in the social and physical characteristics of communities, in the network of relationships in which people interact, and in the structured social inequalities of race and ethnicity, social class, and gender. Reflecting this point, many of criminologys important concepts, including anomie, relative deprivation, and social conflict, draw from concepts originally developed in the larger body of sociology. Additional information may be included in the answer.
