Margaret's Case Scenarios

In my opinion Margaret does not have to do anything because she was not in the conversation. If she inquires on the conversation, it could finish in a big problem.

Sellin’s theory states that crime is a result of disagreement between cultures that have different values or opinions about what is deemed acceptable.…
