The correct answer is the conflict perspective.

The conflict perspective in the sociology of crime and deviance refers to a theory which postulates that crimes, legal systems and penal systems are designed in a way so as to serve the interests of wealthy members of society, while undermining those who are less privileged. According to the conflict perspective, crime and deviance stems from inequalities of power and wealth in society.
