Presentation transcript:

CAD Chap 3 Scope conditions = what they focus on Macrolevel (crime rates & patterns) (Crim has focused on indivs – microlevel) Serious adult crime (robbery, etc.) (Crim has focused on juveniles & petty crime)

CAD Chap 3 Indiv level - why do indivs commit crimes? Macrolevel - why do crime rates vary? Note: same prob for other issues Seat belts & air bags The economy Neither fully reducible to other -- Not the same question!

CAD Chap 3 Crim theories are necessarily "hybrid" theories (can’t stop with macro level!) How do macro patterns "translate" into indiv behavior?

CAD Chap 3 Cultural-learning theories - cultural side Deviant subcultures -->Deviant values (learned) --> Temptation -->Crime (indiv decisions)

CAD Chap 3 Meanwhile …… Disorg-control theos - structural side Social disorganization --> Lack of social control --> Opportunity --> Crime (indiv decisions)

CAD Chap 3 Criminologists working in these two trads compete - reject each others views. Authors - views come from same source! and Neither is adequate without the other!

CAD Chap 3 Subcultures exist in a context of soc disorg Soc disorg doesn't lead to crime (high crime rates) unless subcults develop Culture & structure combine to produce patterns of crime Anomie - strain hybrid theory can unite these into one theory

CAD Chap 3 Cultural side -- learned success goals overpower learned legit means -- "strain" as temptation (pattern + indiv variation) Structural side -- dom of econ weakens instis of social control so that temptation more likely to be acted out (pattern + indiv variation)

CAD Chap 3 Examples: Gender Race and class Gang violence Police crime Corporate crime
