Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

 The legal definition is behavior in violation of the criminal code. To be convicted of crime, a person must have acted intentionally and without justification or excuse. Our inability to prevent crime is also partly because we have trouble understanding criminal behavior and identifying and agreeing upon its many cause. Trying to study crime and criminal behavior presents many problems for social scientists. The subjects of study are most typically captive, such as prisoners or delinquents in institutions. They are not necessarily representative of the true criminal population. Likewise, the universe of crime itself defies any attempt at determining how much occurs. As we see below, although various methods have been used to do this, none provides sufficient and comprehensive information.
