Explain with examples why functionalist explanations of crime and deviance may be criticised for:
- Assuming that society has universal norms and values.
- Not seeing the definition of crime and deviance as problematic.
- Taking official crime statistics at face value.
- Not explaining differences in the way different deviants are treated.
- Not examining the role of the agents of social control.
- Assuming that people just react to outside forces.
