Which group of social theories considers delinquent behavior to be a result of economic deprivation caused by the inequities of the capitalist system of production?

Critical theories.

Explanation:

Found its root in Karl Marx's critique of economy and society, critical theories determine how power relations between different groups operate in society. The theory is based on the opposition of dominant forces in society in various spheres including, political, economic, social and ideological. The theory must fully explain the existing social issues and provide practical solutions to how to respond to them.

This passage is about when George Washington used his final public address as president to warn against what he understood as the two greatest dangers to American prosperity: political parties and foreign wars. Washington urged the American people to avoid political partisanship and entanglements with European wars.
