What are functionalist explinations of differences between ethnic groups in relation to crime and deviance?
a. Structural functionalism explains that differences in crime and deviance between ethnic groups can be attributed to their differing levels of access to resources and opportunities. Certain ethnic groups may face higher levels of social and economic inequality, which can contribute to higher rates of crime and deviance.

b. Conflict functionalism suggests that differences in crime and deviance between ethnic groups are a result of power imbalances and discrimination within society. Ethnic groups that are marginalized and discriminated against may be more likely to engage in criminal behavior as a form of resistance or survival.

c. Symbolic interactionism argues that differences in crime and deviance between ethnic groups are influenced by the labels and stereotypes attached to those groups. Negative stereotypes and stigmatization of certain ethnic groups can lead to increased criminalization and deviant behavior among members of those groups.

d. Rational choice theory proposes that differences in crime and deviance between ethnic groups are a result of individuals weighing the costs and benefits of criminal behavior. Ethnic groups with limited opportunities and resources may be more likely to engage in criminal behavior as a means of gaining resources or social status.
