Answer to Question 1

Major ethical issues include what to study, whom to study, and how to study. What to study can be influenced by the availability of federal money. Areas that are not funded might be ignored. Government officials are also unlikely to fund research that involves government corruption or wrongdoing. When deciding who to study, criminologists often focus on minorities and the poor. Crimes of the wealthy are less often studied. In regards to how to study, subjects are rarely told the purpose of the research project. In addition, subjects in control groups might not be given a particular treatment; although, they would benefit from it.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
