Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The creation of the Job Corps to reduce unemployment by encouraging the development of job skills does not fall under the umbrella of crime control policy and therefore is not influenced by any perspective on crime control. The other options, such as the increase in federal capital crimes and the enactment of a federal three-strikes law, are examples of crime control policies influenced by the social responsibility perspective, which emphasizes the importance of punishing individuals who commit crimes to maintain social order. The abolition of federal parole is also influenced by the social responsibility perspective as it restricts the early release of offenders to ensure that they complete their full sentences and serve as a deterrent to future offenders.
