One reason why there is weaker control experienced by white-collar deviants is that they

A) fear they will lose their power or position.
B) are highly moral individuals.
C) have public opinion on their side.
D) have great power to avoid governmental action.

White-collar deviants often have great power and influence, including access to legal resources and the ability to avoid governmental action or prosecution. This makes it more difficult for law enforcement and regulatory agencies to assert control over them, leading to weaker control overall. Additionally, public opinion may not always be on the side of law enforcement in cases involving white-collar crime, further hindering their ability to exert control over these individuals. Fear of losing power or position may be a deterrent for some individuals, but it is not a significant enough factor to explain the weaker control experienced by white-collar deviants overall.
