"Theory of deviant places" reflects the idea that it is the type of place that makes a difference in crime, more than the kinds of people that live in a certain place.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

When introduced to risky areas, an individual is more prone to be the victim of a crime. The more often an individual steps into rough neighborhoods where violent crime is normal, the higher the risk of victimization, this whole phenomenon is stated as the deviant place theory.

As per the Merton concept, there may be five forms of deviance focused upon these parameters: creativity, conformity, ritualism, rebellion and retreatism. There are three wide sociological categories, which characterize deviant behavior notably: symbolic interaction, structural functionalism and theory of conflict.
