Answer: B: Offenders engage in direct forms of violence.

Explanation: According to the Britanica Encyclopedia "White-collar crime, crime committed by persons who, often by virtue of their occupations, exploit social, economic, or technological power for personal or corporate gain". White collar crimes tends to refer to a crime committed by a bussinessman or bussinesswoman who are more likely to be middle aged or older usually by persons from the middle class and sometimes but not very often the lower class. Fraud, money laundering, stealing company funds and embezzlment are considered white collar crimes. It is often seen as less serious when compared to other crimes because it does not involve physical violence. Public order crimes are not associated to white collar crimes. Financal gain is the ulterior motive of white collar crimes.

White-collar crime have been associated with the educated and affluent ever since the term was first coined in 1949 by sociologist Edwin Sutherland, who defined it as "crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of their occupation", however, these crimes have ceased to be exclusive to such groups.

Answer:

Conflict theory

Explanation:

In sociology, conflict theory states that society is in a permanent conflict because of competition for resources.

Conflict theorists focus on inequality and power, saying that society creates inequality conditions for people and this, in the long term, generates insatisfaction and social conflicts.

From the people who have more power and dominance and thus, they are the ones who maintain social order by creating arrangements perpetuating these differences.

In the example, the social theorist is asked to explain why people in different occupations have different incomes and he says that this is an unfair arrangement that has been created by people with more power.
