Their work was crafted in an attempt to correct much of the inadequacies of class-crime research. They collected reports of acts, behaviors, and events from a general population of adults that reside in a large Midwestern city and analyzed the data to assess the effects of a wide range of class measures on crime measures. \u00a0They sampled 555 adults who demonstrated that regardless of how class or crime was measured, social class always exerted little direct influence on adult criminality in the general population. \u00a0What they found was consistent with research findings from \u201cnon-self-report\u201d studies that say social class is related to criminal involvement for nonwhites.\u00a0 I appreciate their research as it is in effort to show that crime rates are not necessarily higher in lower classes but they covered more negatively in media.\u00a0 Many people research to find out why the lower class is infested with crime instead of how does the middle to upper class avoid getting caught or publicized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: GREGORY DUNAWAY, FRANCIS T.
