Answer: eugenics

Explanation:

The Buck vs. Bell ruling (May 2, 1927) that approved the eugenic sterilization of those considered genetically feeble, led the way to similar laws in 30 states under which around 65,000 people were sterilized without consent.

The Virginia General Assembly would recognize that the sterilization law was founded on flawed science and on May 2, 2002, a marker was built to acknowledge Carrie Buck in Charlottesville, her hometown.

Talja [164]
Confounding variables are stimuli other than independent variables that may affect the outcome of the study and lead to erroneous conclusions. These variables become a factor when researchers are unable to prevent or eliminate them. These variables can make the results found during experiments invalid because they do not reflect the original variables in the experiment or research.

Chambliss critiques the notion of talent or natural ability as it relates to excellence because:_________
erma4kov [3.2K]

Chambliss critiques the notion of talent or natural ability as it relates to excellence because the natural ability is combined with a lot of hard work.

In his first book, Crime and the Legal Process, Chambliss argued that black criminal abuse was far more prominent than middle-class whites and that African Americans had a disproportionately high rate of the arrest.

According to Chambliss's article "A Sociological Analysis of the Laws of Vagrant", the increased severity of penalties for vagrancy was due to major changes in the economy and social structure.

Chambliss critiques' major contribution to criminology was to increase our knowledge of who makes laws, how and why they are enforced, and who benefits.
