Conflict theorists emphasize the social inequality and power dynamics that lead to the creation of laws and the enforcement of crimes. They argue that the criminal justice system is biased towards poor and marginalized groups, while elites are often able to avoid prosecution for their crimes. Order theorists, on the other hand, see the criminal justice system as a necessary means of maintaining social order and protecting society from criminals. However, both conflict and order theorists tend to downplay or ignore the crimes of the elites, such as corporate crimes and crimes by governments. Labeling theorists, on the other hand, are critical of the criminal justice system as a whole, arguing that it often unfairly labels and stigmatizes individuals as criminals. They do not necessarily focus on street crimes, but they do share the view that the criminal justice system is often biased against marginalized groups. Therefore, the best answer is C) Conflict/order and labeling.
