According to the power theory,the types of deviance and the types of persons who commit deviant acts are strongly influenced by

A) anomie.
B) world political events.
C) social equality.
D) social inequality.

The power theory suggests that social inequality strongly influences the types of deviance and the types of persons who commit deviant acts. This is because those who have less power and resources in society may resort to deviant behavior as a means of gaining wealth or status, while those who hold more power may engage in deviant behavior with impunity due to their ability to evade punishment or control the system of social control. Thus, social inequality is a key factor that shapes patterns of deviance and criminal behavior. Anomie, world political events, and social equality may have important effects on deviance, but they are not focused on as strongly by the power theory.
