True or False: An Indicator Crime often involves a pattern of general deviance.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Only in financial crimes

  4. Only in minor offenses

The correct answer is: True

An Indicator Crime is indeed often associated with a pattern of general deviance. These types of crimes serve as signals or indicators that may reflect broader social issues or trends within a community. When certain crime rates rise, it can suggest underlying problems such as poverty, lack of education, or social disorganization, which contribute to a climate of deviance. Recognizing these patterns helps law enforcement and community leaders address the root causes of crime, rather than just the symptoms. In this context, the other choices fail to encompass the broader implications of Indicator Crimes. Financial crimes and minor offenses may be specific to certain contexts and do not necessarily capture the overall pattern of deviance that Indicator Crimes often reveal. Thus, understanding that Indicator Crimes reflect a more generalized pattern of deviance justifies the truth of the statement.
