Q

Social Bond Theory

A

hischi- 1. Attachment- to families and peer groups
- The individual doesn’t act out because they don’t want to disappoint their fellow group members
2. Commitment- To the social norms, laws. You believe in the system and believe that consequences will be levied should you step out of place (deterrence.)
3. Investment- the amount of time you have put in to your position within the group. Essentially, you have invested x so you ar not willing to behave in a way that results in you losing your investment.
- Also, the idea is that if you are busy putting in time/effort them you are not left idle to go commit crime
4. Belief- we tend to go along with the beliefs that the groups we belong to have and its difficult to deviate
• The degree to which one adheres to the values associated with behaviors that conform to the law
• The assumption being that the more important such values are to a person, the less likely he or she is to engage in criminal behavior.

19
Q

Relative Deprivation

  1. Street crimes
  2. Gangs
  3. Crimes against institutions
  4. Terrorism
20
Q

Strain Theory

A
  • Closely tied to relative deprivation
  • When individuals cannot obtain success goals (money, status), they experience strain or pressure (anger/frustration) which can lead to criminal behavior
  • The strains leading to crime, however, may not only be linked to goal blockage but also to presentation of noxious stimuli and taking away the valued stimuli
21
Q

Social Disorganization

A
  • Crimes/deviance occur when the social structures break down and subcultures form
  • In traditional criminology this means that traditional institutions fail to control the behaviors of individual. They then invest themselves in subcultures and crime ensues because the individuals allegiance is to the subculture and goals of the subculture are in direct contrast with the goals of larger society
22
Q

Collective Efficacy

A
  • CE says that crime ensues when the members of a community fail to come together in the pursuit of a common goal.
  • If the goal is to live in a crime free neighborhood, residents would organize neighborhood watches and meetings, back candidates who are tough on crime, motivate the police to increase patrols in their area…
  • BUT if the members of the community can’t come together and they pursue their own individual wants then crime occurs
23
Q

Broken Windows Theory

A

IF YOU DON’T TKE CARE OF YOUR HOUSE IT HAS 3 EFFECTS

  1. People don’t respect your house
  2. People don’t respect you as an individual
  3. People start losing respect for your neighborhood as a whole and this results in loss of collective efficacy
24
Q

Criminogenic Place Debate

A
  1. Drawing on BWT, the question arises, is it the house building with graffiti that causes crime and deviance or does crime cause disorder
  2. Does a bar cause deviance and crime around it, or is the bar simply attracting criminals
  3. Same question for military bases….
