Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Positivists are concerned with objective facts and behaviors that can be measured or observed. Serious crimes such as murder, rape, and armed robbery are clear examples of deviant behavior that can be measured and observed, making positivists more likely to be interested in studying and understanding them. Subjectivists, relativists, and constructionists may be more interested in studying subjective experiences or societal constructions of deviance, rather than focusing on specific criminal acts.
