Answer to Question 1

Feedback: From the order theorist perspective, political crimes are unlawful activities against the government, such as acts of dissent and violence the purpose of which is to challenge and change the existing political order. From the conflict perspective, political crimes are unlawful activities by the government, such as CIA interventions in the domestic affairs of other nations, Watergate, the Iran-Contra affair, war crimes, slavery, imperialism (such as forcibly taking land from Native Americans), police brutality, and using citizens experimentally without their knowledge and consent.

Answer to Question 2

Feedback: Labeling theory is the view of deviant behavior that stresses the importance of the society in defining what is illegal and in assigning deviant status to particular individuals, which in turn dominates their identities and behaviors. Strengths are that it (1) concentrates on the role of societal reactions in the creation of deviance, (2) realizes that the label is applied disproportionately to the powerless, and (3) explains how deviant careers are established and perpetuated. Labeling theory has been criticized because it (1) disregards undetected deviance, (2) assumes that deviants are really normal because we are all rule breakers, (3) relieves the individual from blame, and (4) focuses on certain types of deviance but ignores deviance by the powerful.
