Expert Solution
Step 1 Introduction
Crime is a very complex phenomenon that has a huge effect on individuals and societies. Crime can be considered a product of poverty, marginalization, and social equality. Crime can also be an individual's response to social norms and values that are negatively impacting an individual's needs or interests. Sociologists also try to study criminal behavior from different perspectives and use their observations to develop policies that restrict criminal behavior.
