Do you believe some cultural norms are probably relevant to criminal behaviour? Explain
Yes. As culture norms influences who will be arrested, charged, convicted, and what sentence they will receive. Indeed, the invisible hand of culture drives the process of criminalization and helps to determine which acts we will sanction through criminal statutes.

How do you explain the unjust US criminal justice system on one side and cultural norms of criminal behaviours among the people of colour?
With only 5 percent of the world’s population, we house 25 percent of all prisoners, which makes the country the world’s biggest jailer. The problem has only been getting worse: The prison population has increased by 700 percent since 1970, meaning one in every 31 adults is under some sort of correction, according to the American Civil Liberties Union. The U.S.’s love of throwing people behind bars is also expensive  – the annual cost per inmate is $21,006 for minimum security and $33,930 for high security, according to the Urban Institute.
