Think about it. Most of the white-collar crimes are related to wealth <em>honesty</em>, while crimes that are committed within other communities are often related with guns, violence, and substance abuse. White-collar offenses are committed by the wealthy, often Caucasian-American individuals, while other crimes often take place within minority groups. If white-collar crimes are handled in as civil crimes, then the statistics for crime rates in criminal court would completely tilt toward minorities, leading people to believe that only poor individuals commit crimes. Therefore, your best answer is option D.

Unfortunately, you forgot to attach the question. Here we just have a statement, but no question.

What is your question? What do you want to know?

If this is a true or false question, then the correct answer is "true."

It is true that Japan's success in modernization has created great interest in why and how it was able to adopt Western political, social, and economic institutions in so short a time.

We are talking about the importance of the Meiji Restoration.

The Meiji Restoration is the period in Japanese history when the political revolution in 1868 ended the feudal system in Japan to restore the imperial system of government.

The Emperor of Japan became the most important figure of the nation after the end of the Tokunaga. The reformation abolished the imperant class system, ended the Samurais as the official army of the empire, establishing a more modern concept of the military with the influence of the western world, modernize the industry of the country, and established basic education for Japanese children.
