SOCIAL CONFLICT I believe Al Capone is a result of the Social Conflict theory. He grew up having a nice child hood and didn’t have any problems with his family. I chose social conflict because he had a great need for power. He always had power whether it was with gangs or even when he was in jail. While he was in jail he became in supreme power which made him have to change prions. He controlled people so he didn’t have to be around while the killing was happening and he always had an alibi.
