Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

o White-collar crimes are not an official category of the Uniform Crime Report.
White-collar crimes are financial activities that are characterized by deceit and
concealment that do not involve physical force or violence like other types of crime.
White-collar crimes use different techniques from property and violent crimes. Property and violent criminals use physical means to commit their crime and are usually in a location they are not lawfully allowed to be. White-collar criminals usually have legal access to the place where the crime occurs. They are also usually separated from the victim, the victim is often unknown, and they behave in a manner that appears to be legitimate. Common techniques used by white- collar criminals include deception, abuse of trust, and concealment.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
