Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Labeling theory suggests that those in the white collar class are more likely to be able to shield themselves from being labeled criminal due to their social status, financial resources, and ability to manipulate the legal system. This is contrasted with conventional offenders who may not have the same resources and therefore are more vulnerable to being labeled and stigmatized as a criminal. The other options are not consistent with labeling theory.
