Answer to Question 1

 In the lowest classes youths form gangs which can be found in the most desolated ghetto areas.
 These gangs serve as a means of survival in a system that offers no reasonable alternative.
 Lower-class youths who live in more stable areas are on the fringe of delinquent activity because the economic system excludes them from meaningful opportunity.
 In regard to middle-class delinquency, the alienation of individuals from one another, the competitive struggle, and the absence of human feeling, all qualities of capitalism, contribute to middle-class delinquency.
 Because capitalism is dehumanizing, it is not surprising that even middle-class youths turn to drugs, gambling, and illicit sex to find escape.
 Student views will vary.
