A researcher interested in examining why the homicide rate in Canada is so much lower than what is observed in the United States would most likely be using which type or category of theory?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question asks for the possible reason why the homicide rate in Canada is lower than the US. This requires an explanation that considers the societal or environmental factors of the two countries, which falls under macro-level theory. Critical legal theory, common sense, personality theory, and micro-level theory are not as relevant for examining differences in national homicide rates.
