Answer: Sutton's offense will not be recorded because it is part of what is called the dark figure of the crime.

Explanation:

In the field of criminology or sociology, the dark figure of the crime can be defined as the number of crimes that have not been reported or discovered.

Just as many reported crimes are seen daily and investigations to find out who has committed it, there are also times where crimes cannot be proven due to lack of evidence or perhaps they happened but were never reported.

Situations have been seen where innocent people are convicted of poor evidence or people who are guilty but lack of evidence cannot ensure that the person is guilty. There are also cases where there are crimes that are not reported because the person does not trust justice or the person may feel guilty for what happened to him.

In the case of Sutton, although it is true that at the end of the day he did not steal anything and that the owner of the house could not detect anything because everything was intact, this does not mean that the crime did not happen. If the owner of the house had security cameras or found Sutton in the house, it would have been proof that he was trying to steal even if he didn't carry anything.

If Sutton had been found there would be chances of being imprisoned or other judicial actions would have been taken because entering a house without permission and that is a crime.

Explain two things that can lead to a husband having a problem with his wife.
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Communication and Trust Issues

Explanation:

<em>*If this a specific question with a specific answer then I have no clue.*</em>

Two of the many things that can lead to problems in a marriage is lack of communication and trust issues. If there isn't clear transparency of communication that can lead to misunderstanding and/or even divorce.  <u>Communication is key to most relationships</u> and lack of communication can also affect other aspects of one's life. If a husband isn't communicating to his wife of what he needs or vice versa, then that could make for some pretty  difficult arguments down the road. Trust issues can also affect a relationship very deeply. Trust issues are one of the things that can drive people apart. A lack of trust in a relationship and lead to resentment and frustration which can put a strain on one's mental state and marriage.
