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.

According to Merton's strain theory, __________ occurs when people challenge both the approved goals and the approved means for
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Anomie

Explanation:

Merton developed the concept of ‘anomie’ to describe this imbalance between cultural goals and institutionalised means. He argued that such an imbalanced society produces anomie – there is a strain or tension between the goals and means which produce unsatisfied aspirations.

Merton argued that when individuals are faced with a gap between their goals (usually finances/money related) and their current status, strain occurs. When faced with strain, people have five ways to adapt:

1. Conformity: pursing cultural goals through socially approved means.

2. Innovation: using socially unapproved or unconventional means to obtain culturally approved goals. Example: dealing drugs or stealing to achieve financial security.

3. Ritualism: using the same socially approved means to achieve less elusive goals (more modest and humble).

4. Retreatism: to reject both the cultural goals and the means to obtain it, then find a way to escape it.

5. Rebellion: to reject the cultural goals and means, then work to replace them.

Suppose you examined a pedigree of a large family, going back 6 generations. In generation 5, a woman ("G5W") has a serious gene
miv72 [106K]

 

Explanation:

There is found a mutation in G5W parents during the gamete formation created X-linked dominant disease allele. As the expression of the allele determines the allele that dominant or recessive. Because sometimes the allele becomes complete even then it is incomplete. In many cases, these alleles occur together or express at the same time that is called co dominance. The X-linked inheritance works differently with male and female because the male has XY chromosome and female has only XX chromosome. So a man has chances their son 50% but daughter has more or 99% chances to be inherited by the disease. Females only pass their X chromosome to each son or daughter so the chances from a female dominant inheritance 50% chances of X-linked disease.
