Answer:

answer 1. The American society can reduce the impact of victimization to the underclass by implementing policies and programs that address the root causes of crime, such as poverty and inequality, providing education, job opportunities, and other resources to marginalized communities, increasing police accountability and community policing, providing accessible and affordable mental health and addiction services, and providing support and resources for victims of crime.

answer 2. Society frequently fails to understand the full scope of crime victimization due to lack of awareness or emphasis on certain types of crimes, political or social stigma associated with certain types of crime or victims, under-reporting of crimes due to fear of retaliation or distrust of law enforcement, and lack of attention or resources for victims after crime has occurred.
