Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

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 feelingall qualities of capitalismcontribut e 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.
