  • Similarly, changes in the collection and calculation of data on crime may affect the public perceptions of the extent of any given "crime problem."

• Mechanisms of Cultural Change

  • Cultures are internally affected by both forces encouraging change and forces resisting change.
  • One sex might desire changes that affect the other, as happened in the second half of the 20th century in western cultures (see, for example, the women's movement), while the other sex may be resistant to that change (possibly in order to maintain a power imbalance in their favor).
  • Cultures are externally affected via contact between societies, which may also produce—or inhibit—social shifts and changes in cultural practices.
