Explanation

Conflict theory emphasizes that reducing crime and deviance primarily requires addressing the root cause of economic inequality. By significantly lessening economic disparities, social tensions that lead to criminal behavior can be minimized. Other approaches, such as controlling social authorities or redefining crimes, are less central to this perspective.
