Crime and Deviance Questions and Answers

Human trafficking is a form of

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: B

Human trafficking is a form of organised crime.

Trafficking in persons involves recruiting, moving and exploiting people for forced labour or sexual exploitation. It is carried on by networks that plan and share the profits, so it is classed with organised crime, like drug and arms smuggling.

It is not a hate crime, which is directed at a group because of its identity. It may involve violence but is not defined as a violent crime in the way that assault is, and it is not a property crime, since the victim is a person.

At the individual level, examples for social disorganization are

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: D

All of the examples are social disorganisation at the individual level.

Social disorganisation is the breakdown of the norms and controls of a community, and at the level of the individual it shows up in behaviours such as drug addiction, alcoholism and gambling. Each of them is a sign of a person's loss of the usual social bonds, and each may also lead to crime.

Since each of the three is an example, choosing only one of them would leave out the other two, so the option all of the above is right.

Which among the following intoxicating drugs is not produced in India ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: B

Cocaine is not produced in India.

Cocaine comes from the coca plant, which is grown in South America, so it reaches India only by import. Charas and bhang are made from the cannabis plant, which grows in India. Brown sugar, a crude form of heroin, is made in India from opium.

So three of the four are made in India and only cocaine is not. Brown sugar is the likeliest wrong choice, because it is an illegal drug, but it is made in Indian clandestine laboratories from opium that is grown in the country, so it does not meet the condition of the question.

AloAno is an organisation meant for

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: C

Al-Anon is an organisation for the family members of alcoholics.

Al-Anon Family Groups is a fellowship of relatives and friends of problem drinkers, who share their experience in order to cope with the effects of the drinking. It works alongside Alcoholics Anonymous, which is for the drinkers themselves.

It is therefore not for alcoholics themselves, who go to Alcoholics Anonymous. It is also not for drug addicts or fellow drug users, who have Narcotics Anonymous.

In the year 2010 how many offences under the special and local laws were registered by the police ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: C

About 45 to 50 lakh offences under the special and local laws were registered by the police in 2010.

The NCRB's Crime in India for 2010 recorded some 22 lakh cognizable offences under the Indian Penal Code and about 45 lakh under the special and local laws, so the SLL crimes were a little over 45 lakh.

The ranges of 35 to 40 lakh and 40 to 45 lakh are too low, and more than 50 lakh is too high.

'Prostitution' was presently termed as

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: B

Prostitution is presently termed commercial sex work, the term adopted in modern research, public health work and policy to describe the exchange of sex for money without the moral judgement of the older word, and to bring out that it is an economic activity of the persons who do it.

Infidelity means unfaithfulness to a spouse, extra-marital sex means sex outside marriage whether or not money is involved, and incest means sexual relations between close relatives. None of these is a new name for prostitution.

Which of the following is a victimless crime ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: D

Prostitution is a victimless crime in the usual sense of the term: it is an act between consenting adults, and no person is directly harmed or forced, so it is treated as a crime against public morality rather than against an individual victim.

Murder has a victim who is killed, hijacking harms the passengers and crew, and car theft has an owner who loses property. Each of these three has an identifiable victim, so they are not victimless crimes.

Which one of the following is not a narcotic drug ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: C

Lysergic acid dimethyl amide (the printed form of lysergic acid diethylamide, LSD) is not a narcotic drug in the strict sense; it is a hallucinogen. A narcotic drug is one that dulls the senses and relieves pain, as opium and its derivatives do.

Opium is the standard narcotic, cocaine is treated as a narcotic in law, and bhang is a preparation of cannabis, which the Indian narcotics law covers under that head. So the first, second and fourth options are narcotic, and the third is the one that is not.

Which country among the following is part of the Golden Crescent ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: B

Pakistan is a country of the Golden Crescent, the region of opium production and trafficking that covers Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran. The name arises from the crescent shape of the area on the map.

Russia and China are not part of it, and Tajikistan lies on the route used for drugs from Afghanistan to the north but is not counted as a country of the Golden Crescent itself. The Golden Triangle is the other great area, in Southeast Asia, covering Myanmar, Laos and Thailand.

Which of the following is within the Scope of criminology ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: D

All of the three are within the scope of criminology: the process of making law, the process of breaking law and the reaction of society towards law breakers. Sutherland defined criminology as the body of knowledge dealing with crime as a social phenomenon and said that it includes the study of the making of laws, the breaking of laws and the reaction towards breaking laws.

Since each of the first three is a part of that scope, none by itself is the full answer and the correct choice is 'All the above'.
