Which term describes information that explains without critical analysis?

• A. Holistic approach
• B. Descriptive evidence
• C. Verbal stimulation
• D. Visual stimulation

Answer: (B)

Descriptive evidence best fits here because it involves presenting facts, events, or details that explain what happened without evaluating, arguing about causes, or offering critique. In criminology practice, this would be a factual account—such as who, what, where, and when—without analyzing why it happened or what it implies. The other options describe approaches or stimuli rather than the nature of the information: a holistic approach looks at the whole system and relationships, while verbal and visual stimulation refer to ways of prompting thought or engagement rather than how information is described or analyzed.
