The broad category of conflict theory encompasses a range of theories that attempt to explain crime and deviance through conflict. Theories can be subcategorized into those that deal with class, race, gender, power, political standing, social standing, economics, interpersonal relationships, or any other aspect of human interaction that may lead to conflict or dispute. The conflict identified within conflict theories may be real or imagined, it may be historically based or influenced by recent events. Group conflict theories range from the conservative to radical, but rely on the central tenet that conflict is a natural part of human social interaction and can influence criminal and deviant behavior.
