Please respond to the following statement.
“As Quinney and his contemporaries point out in the readings, crime is not simply an objective reality but is also a constructed (created) reality. This reality is often rooted in the power and interests of the time and is not necessarily reflective of the social consensus”.
Discussion Board Guidelines
When posting your discussion comments, it is important that you be both honest and respectful of the ideas and comments of your fellow students. Remember that the discussion postings take place in an open forum. Please refrain from vulgar, racial, sexist or any other remarks or comments that an individual might deem to be offensive.
Your contributions to the discussion forums will be graded for quality and a detailed analysis linking the material to a critical appraisal of theory, policy, and practice. In all cases, students must cite in-text and provide a full bibliography/works cited at the end of their post for all citations mentioned in the post.
The initial post should be the equivalent of 1 page in length or a minimum of 350 words and should include one outside source (i.e., a source outside the regular readings assigned for the week/course).
