CRIMES

sharonraju2

Crime rates have increased dramatically in cities due to rapid urbanization. Various types of crimes reported include murder, theft, drug abuse, rape, and kidnapping. Criminals sometimes receive political protection, making it difficult for the police to curb crimes. Poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, and lack of guidance contribute to the rising crime rate. Implementing strict laws, increasing police force, providing education and jobs, and cultivating moral values can help reduce crime.

Crime

Tayyabalatif

Crime is defined as deviant behavior that violates accepted laws or rules. Sociologists study crime using theories like differential association theory, control theory, and routine activities theory. Differential association theory suggests people are more likely to commit crimes if they associate with groups that view crime positively. Control theory proposes people refrain from crime if they feel bound to their society. Routine activities theory states crime depends on opportunities that bring offenders, targets, and lack of guardians together. Sociologists examine crime patterns among age, gender, race, social class, and ethnicity groups to better understand who commits crimes and why. Understanding the sociology of crime allows societies to develop solutions that prevent criminal behavior and recidivism.

Crime & Violence

RachelMarchildon

The document discusses crime and violence in Canada. It defines different types of crimes such as property crimes, violent crimes, victimless crimes, and computer crimes. It provides statistics on crime in Canada, noting that reported criminal incidents decreased from 2011 to 2012, largely due to reductions in non-violent crimes. The document also discusses youth crime statistics and notes that nearly 40,000 cases were completed in Canadian youth courts in 2013/2014, which was 12% lower than the previous year. Common youth crimes are discussed as well as the benefits of diversion programs for first-time youth offenders.

Why do people commit crimes

jackmmartin

According to Marxist theory, social class differences are a major factor in why people commit crimes. The working class is more likely to commit crimes out of financial necessity, due to family/social influences, peer pressure, lack of education, and other factors. They are also more likely to commit violent crimes that are detected by police. In contrast, the middle class is more prone to crimes motivated by greed, addiction, or boredom, and they often engage in less detectable "white collar" crimes like fraud.

Crime definition

M Oswaldo Rivera

This document discusses different types and classifications of crimes. It outlines major crimes such as murder, assault, and rape, and minor crimes like public drunkenness and traffic violations. Crimes are also classified into 13 categories including those against national security, public order, and public morals. The document then examines several theories of criminology, such as the classical theory that links low intelligence to criminality, and strain theory where frustration leads people to illegitimate acts.

Crime and Deviance

vautoud

This document discusses how age, gender, social class, and race/ethnicity relate to crime. It notes that crime increases in early adolescence, peaks in young adulthood, and declines with age. Lower socioeconomic backgrounds are more likely to be arrested for violent and property crimes. Aboriginal people are overrepresented in prison populations in Canada, making up 25% of inmates but only 4% of the general population. Explanations for overrepresentation include immigration, discrimination, and a focus on crimes committed by low-income groups.

divyaahuja07

Corruption is defined as an act of bribery or using public power for private profits illegally or unethically. It takes many forms, including bribes, nepotism, misappropriation of funds, patronage, and favoritism. Corruption is caused and increased by factors such as a change in values, scarcity, ineffective administration, lack of accountability, and too much power given to officials without oversight. Whistleblower programs, computerization, privatization, stricter laws and punishments, and more transparency are some of the ways discussed to reduce corruption.

This document discusses the concepts of crime and deviance. It explains that what constitutes a crime depends on factors like time, culture, and social norms. Certain acts like homosexuality were considered criminal offenses in some times and cultures but are now legal. Deviance refers to any act that violates social standards, whether legal or not. The relationship between crime and deviance is complex because something can be deviant but not criminal, or vice versa, depending on the social context.

Scly 4 crime prevention

Sandy Thedab

This document summarizes different approaches to crime control, prevention, and punishment. It discusses right and left realist perspectives on reducing crime through increasing costs and focusing on individuals versus addressing societal inequalities. It also examines situational crime prevention techniques like surveillance and environmental crime prevention approaches like fixing signs of disorder. Left realists argue for addressing root causes of crime like poverty. The document evaluates different rationales for punishment and whether prisons are effective in deterring crime or act as "universities of crime" that fail to rehabilitate and reduce recidivism.

Immigration

smootwow

The document discusses potential ways to improve the US immigration system. It summarizes an article that outlines steps President Obama is taking, such as securing borders, allowing undocumented immigrants to come out of hiding, and making it easier for skilled workers to contribute. However, the author believes an even stricter approach is needed, such as closely monitoring immigrants, deporting anyone who fails to attend school or commits a crime, and denying entry to anyone with a criminal record. While some may view these ideas as harsh, the author argues tough decisions must be made to enact meaningful improvements.

Crime & Punishment sociology

Ray Brannon

Social deviance refers to any violation of established social norms, whether through informal minor transgressions or more formal crimes. Social control mechanisms aim to encourage normative compliance through both informal social sanctions and formal laws and punishments. Sociological theories offer different perspectives on deviance, with structural functionalism viewing it as a disruption to social cohesion and interactionist theories examining how social labeling can influence behavior and identity.

Juvenile delinquency - Governors State University

tabcrump

This document discusses several theories of juvenile delinquency. It outlines Sutherland's differential association theory, which argues that criminal behavior is learned through social interactions rather than innate. It also discusses Warr and Stafford's view that delinquency stems from peer influences. The document notes controversies around establishing international juvenile justice standards and aims to prevent reoffending through rehabilitation.

The Politics of Crime

Daniel Brodsky

The document discusses the politics of crime and the emergence of new "moral panics". It argues that while crime rates are dropping, fear of crime is being deliberately fostered and marketed for political gain. Politicians demonize certain groups, like homeless youth, to garner support and pass tough-on-crime laws that have little real impact but satisfy perceptions of wanting more safety and control. The document also summarizes a court case where medical use of marijuana was found to be a constitutionally protected choice.
