Answer:

The 'nonwhite urban neighborhoods' have been subjected to 'heightened surveillance' and 'police repression' since the 1960s.

Explanation:

The racial uprisings that occurred during the 1960s substantially resulted in the increased crime rate against the whites.

In order to decrease the offenses committed by the nonwhite urban neighborhoods and to keep a check on their activities, the Federal Government chose to heighten the surveillance and allow police repression.

Though this decision of the government is seen to have been successful in bringing down the crime rate, it is still criticized by many.

I believe it was since the racial segregation.
During this period, the law enforcement believed that most criminals run over poor neighborhood (which mostly populated by minorities)
These claims however only account for blue collar crimes while ignoring the white collar crimes that mostly conducted by people in wealthy population.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is "The fundamental attribution error".

Explanation:

The fundamental attribution error is the human tendency to emphasize personal characteristics instead of analyzing the contextual or situational explanation for other people's behavior.

For example, when someone fails a test, the other students may think that their classmate failed because he is lazy or he didn't study enough and not because the questions of the test were wrongly formulated.

In this particular case, the first attribution that one does to the jam is that the couple did it because they are bad communicators, only because they were arguing moments before, rather than attributing the failure to get the frame to through the doorway to the possibility that it might be too big for the doorway.

In conclusion, this is an example of the fundamental attribution error.
