How does conflict theory/Marxism explain crime?

Answer 1

Institutionalizing greed and the exploitation of the vast majority for the benefit of the very few creates such imbalances that they cry out for redress. If Exxon can profit 40 billion in one year, while millions are hungry and live in grinding poverty, scared about tomorrow, you can expect crime on the smaller scale to attempt to balance things out.

Answer 2

I give some information taken from my sociology book written by J.J Macionis and Ken Plummer
"Social conflict is a struggle between segments of society over valued resources . "
so it is happening because there are limited natural resources but there are unlimited human wants according to microeconomic assumption.
"Social conflict can of course take many forms : individauls may quarrel some towns have long standing rivalries and nations sometimes go to war .For Marx ,however ,the most significant form of social conflict involved clashes between social classes that arise from the way a society produces material goods."
I could now find an exact explanation about how conflict explains crime but as we can understand from these sentences above we can say that conflict caused by lack of goods and so crime is cause by this too . For example if a human owns everything and other do not have physiological things so they will se that wealthy man and want to assault his wealth .
