Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Glaser believed that Sutherland's theory was too mechanistic (meaning focused on mechanical or automatic processes), and that a process of identification with criminals also had to take place. This suggests that Glaser believed Sutherland's theory was lacking in terms of accounting for the psychological processes involved in becoming a criminal, and that a more nuanced understanding was necessary.
