Expert Solution

Step 1

Culture is a major component of society and every society has its own set of cultures. Each culture has its own idea, beliefs, rituals, traditions, language, fashion, food, civilization, art, artifact, and other such aspects of society. This makes every society unique and every person has their own understanding and perception of culture which affects their personality and thinking perception. As such the notion of crime is connected with one's culture and affects their socialization and wrongful cultural background can give rise to criminal tendencies.
