Answer to Question 1

Answer: key points to be made
Statistics not as helpful as understanding the essence of behavior, why people do things
Focus on interaction of cultural and subcultural dynamics of crime and crime control
Crime is situated in daily life and its expressions but mediated by crime control industry
Media used by agents of government to control images and social perspectives
Subjective interpretations create images of crime controlled by those who benefit

Answer to Question 2

Answer: key points to be made
Sees reality as more complex and non-linear than most sciences
Does not appreciate static approaches based on factors that dont change
Reality is constantly changing and evolving in non-patterned ways
Dynamic models are best for this postmodern approach
Different because it would not find most research done on crime to be meaningful nor the statistical tools to be useful
