    ...view full instructions

    Statement: Social inequalities and deprivation cause crime and thus, more criminals originate from the economically weaker sections of the society.

    Arguments:

    I. Yes, as people who are destitute are more likely to turn to crime in order to satisfy basic living necessities.

    II. No, as some of the biggest crimes that affect the society the most are committed by huge multinational companies or wealthy individuals.

    Solution

    The keywords are 'more criminals originate'.

    Argument 'I' provides sound logic for the economically weaker sections falling into criminal cases (to satisfy basic living necessities).

    Argument 'II' focuses on the intensity or impact of the crimes (biggest crimes that affect the society the most). It does not negate why 'more criminals' originate from weaker sections of society.

    Hence, the correct option is (a).
