CriminalGrad Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 Which of these two types of definitions of crime, normative or labeling, best explains why prostitution is legal in some rural counties in Nevada but illegal in Clark County and other counties in the state? Why?
Kim9554 Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 I believe the answer is prostitution would be labeling. That is because nothing is inherently/innately wrong with it unlike murder and rape. The labeling theory says all criminal definitions are socially constructed.
