Social Organization of Deviance: Street Gangs Social Disorganization Theory Chicago School of Sociology (early 1900s) Emphasizes Ecological Elements in the Urban Environment Immigrant Questions: Allow immigrants into US or not? Genetic differences in immigrants versus “native born” Americans ? Scapegoating social problems (see Ch. 16)

Sociology Organization of Deviance: Street Gangs Model of the ecological process (Park and Burgess) Concentric Zone Model of urban development Zone of Transition http://www.crimetheory.com/Soc1/Chic1.htm http://www.csiss.org/classics/content/26 Metro Reef Pattern

Sociology Organization of Deviance: Street Gangs Mapping incidents of Delinquency (55,000 over 30 years) Shaw & McKay observe spatial patterns in places where delinquency is clustered Spatial pattern of crime is stable

Sociology Organization of Deviance: Street Gangs Ecological features of Zone of Transition: Crime rate Economic depression Physical deterioration (housing) Single parent households High % of renters (vs. owners) Heterogeneity (a.k.a ethnic diversity) Spatial Mobility

Sociology Organization of Deviance: Street Gangs Ethnic Succession Poor are powerless to resist “invasion” of those prone to illegal behavior Poor can not resist those who are culturally different New immigrant waves Gentrification Cultural Transmission Criminogenic social disorganization takes root “Traditions of Crime” are developed & passed on (Subcultural Theories – Sutherland, W. Miller, etc.) Structures of Criminal Opportunity: Access to Illegitimate Means focused on street (Drug & Property) crime and violent crime

Sociology Organization of Deviance: Street Gangs (Sub)Culture Conflict (Miller 1958) Working class values: “Focal Concerns” Trouble Toughness Smartness Excitement Fate Autonomy Have other values developed since the 1950s? What values are evident in the film “A Heart Broken in Half”? What values are evident in the reading by Jody Miller on Gender, Victimization & Gangs (Ch. 30)? How is masculinity and gender related to gang membership and member values?
