Susannah · Answer 1

A.) True

Explanation:

Shaw and McKay's research work demonstrated that delinquencies persisted in certain areas over many years regardless of the population turnover. This attributes to the fact that delinquency is tied to a place rather than people. Factors that might lead to delinquency are; high rate of poverty, residential instability, and ethnic heterogeneity.
