Parking fines defined largely by the state
Many see fines for parking and other driving offences as unfair as the state is the primary body that decides what such crimes are and are also the ones who gain most from it. Parking fines can be seen as a revenue boosting opportunity by the public rather than a true crime.

# data[].attributes.body
A theory is an explanation created by a researcher that has significant evidence to support it. A concept is any general idea.

# data[].attributes.body
A concept contains a broad set of common ideas or ideas encompassing a common trait
However, a theory fundamentally examines an underlying explanation of how something works

# data[].attributes.body
A concept is an idea that isn't necessarily proven or shown to be correct, a theory is a concept which has been proven and attempts to explain observed phenomena

# data[].attributes.body
a concept is more an idea whereas a theory is often an explanation which helps to understand concepts

# data[].attributes.body
a theory might be an explanatory idea, created by an expert or researcher to answer a question. a theory can be proven or speculation, but seeks to answer a question nonetheless. a concept might be broader than a theory, being an occurrence or idea; a theory could be used to explain a concept.
