Answer to Question 1

Answer: d

Answer to Question 2

Answer: While examples will vary, all answers should identify the three key sociological explanations for crime listed in the textbook: crime as a result of individual location in the structure of society, crime as the end product of social processes, and crime as the product of class structures. Answers should also discuss modern crime control policies that implement these types of explanations
