1. Hoe verklaren de 4 perspectieven dat mensen crimineel gedrag kan vertonen? 2. Hoe verklaren de 4 perspectieven dat sommige etnische bevolkingsgroepen vaker in de gevangenis belanden dan andere? Zie labeling perspectieven (interactionele perspectief). Also, affluent ppl break laws too, but are often not monitored and therefore less caught. Also they influence rules and laws. Criminalization of young black men created panic, encouraged by the media and the state. Blacks/Asians more likely to be victim of crime Competing interests Where they live (inner-city, higher risk, more crime) The apparent failure of policies for racial integration Prison’s aren’t having the proper effect: they exist in part to rehabilitate individuals and prepare them for positive contributions to society. With minority groups they are not achieving that goal-on the contrary, prisoners have a hard time adjusting to normal society once released. Giddens pg 889. Prisions aks Universities of Crime (pg 890) Scapegoating, prejudice Discrimination Oppression Subjects of abuse and crime (bullying, lynching, KKK, Nazi,) Stop and Search –picking colored out of traffic /airport etc . lines Ballentine (146-157) Blue text is from Giddens, Pages 857-868 en 889-890 Red text is Macionis en Plummer pg 356-360, 592-618 Deviance: the violation of social norms. Deviance is socially constructed and dependant on the time and social context. (Goth dress. Until everyone is doing it, then its now accepted and normal. Or even gender transition.) Robyn: Can society determine what is right and wrong? Consensus crimes: society is in consensus about deviance being a serious crime, the one who perpetrates is a criminal. Sociologists emphasize understanding the interactions, social structure, and social processes that lead to deviant behavior, rather than individual characteristics. Two stages in process of becoming a deviant: Primary deviance- isolated act or initial act (being dared by a friend). Secondary deviance: takes on deviant identity and regularly violates norm. (Ballentine maar ook Giddens) Criminilazation: a social group or certain activities are targeted for intensified monitoring, redefinition and, ultimately, prosecution, this process is known as criminalization. 857 Defining Deviance Down van “Moynihan”. Deviance had increased too high for society to accept. Instead of addressing the problems and changing behavior, deviant behavior became redefined: previously unaccepted behavior becoming normalized (homo). Why do ppl commit crimes? Deviant is not criminal. Interactionists say it’s context and how society defines behavior. That is often being redefined in our day. For instance, ppl on welfare are increasingly being considered illegitimate claimants before they were legitimate. LEFT REALISM: criminal subcultures in inner cities. No international standard for crime statistics. Handle data with care (unlike the media) Report into police who reportedly insufficiently investigated the murder of a young black person by 4 white youth. Macpherson, 1999:6 The collective failure of an organization to provide an appropriate and professional service to people because of their colour, culture, or ethnic origin. It can be seen or detected in processes, attitudes and behaviours which amount to the discrimination through unwitting prejudice, ignorance, thoughtlessness and racist stereotype which disadvantage minority ethnic people.
