Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sociological perspective emphasizes the importance of examining how society prioritizes and responds to social problems, and how these processes shape policy alternatives. The conflict perspective also addresses power struggles and inequalities in policy-making, but does not specifically focus on the agenda-setting process for social issues. Criminologists may focus on policy alternatives related to crime and punishment, but may not have the same emphasis on agenda-setting for broader social issues. Symbolic interactionists focus on individual interpretations and meanings of social issues, rather than policy-making processes.
