Answer:

<u>True</u>

Explanation:

Edwin Sutherland was a sociologist who spend most of his career developing theories of criminal behaviour. He was the first one to study and publish articles about white collar crime.

His work broadened the field of criminology and led to the study of more than just street crime.  He developed the phrase ' White collar crime' in 1939, after studying 15 American Utility companies and 70 major corporations. He was sure that crime wasn't limited to the streets only but the respected and well educated individuals also committed crime.

White collar crime is the crime motivated by financial gain and committees by a person of respectability and high social status, their in  no violence in  such crimes but they are motivated by greed.

Her experience is most symptomatic of an obsessive compulsive disorder, or OCD.
Maxine suffers from OCD which is making her repeatedly do the same thing until it is perfected. In this case, she is constantly dwelling on the fact whether or not she locked her door, and she won't feel at ease until she finds out for sure. However, even when she checks again, some time after that she may start feeling anxious again and start wondering if she locked the door.
