Which term refers to efforts to alter public attitudes towards crime?

• A. Shame
• B. Public Perception
• C. Campaign for Change
• D. Consequences of Unreported Crime

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is organized efforts to shape how the public thinks about crime. Campaign for Change fits best because it describes a coordinated push to influence public opinion, policy, or behavior around crime through messaging, media, and outreach. It’s about actively changing attitudes, not just describing them or describing a mechanism. Shame is a social sanction that can influence behavior, but it’s not a planned campaign to sway public attitudes. Public Perception refers to the view people already hold, not the act of trying to change that view. Consequences of Unreported Crime deals with outcomes when crimes aren’t reported, not with efforts to shift attitudes. So, the term that captures the idea of deliberately altering public attitudes toward crime is Campaign for Change.
