Question

Answer 1

Answer:

The conflict theory challenges the social disorganization theory of deviance, recognizes the inequality of the social system, and believes that gender, race, and social class impact patterns of crime and deviance.

Explanation:

• The conflict theory given by Karl Marx is inclined towards clarifying that social life is subject to inequalities, unequal distribution of resources, and imbalance of power.
• The theory counters the statements established by the theory of deviance by strongly proposing that there is a prevalence of inequality in society and it is the sole reason for social conflict.
