Structural Functionalism-Classic Strain TheoryRobert Merton (1942)The pressure we feel when we believe we cannot reach our financial&professional goals. Explaining Strain: All Americans believe in the American dream. Some people have an easier time achieving theirAmerican dream than others. Our beliefs of a better life causes crime (emphasis onsucceeding) Adaptations to Strain: Conformity- we live with the strain & do not commit crime, believe in the American dream. (skipping classes-now attending classes)Innovation- believes in American dream, finds creative or illegal ways toachieve dreams. (drug dealers) These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.Ritualism- do it out of habit. Goes to class to socialize, no longer believesin American dream, does not commit crime, does not try to better his life.Retreatism- no American dream, dropped out of society (harmless, munks, drugaddicts, dropouts)Rebellionism- no American dream, dropped out but wants to change society.(gangs, high school shooter)B. Conflict Theory- norms & laws represent the values of the ruling class.-Core Postulates --Some laws benefit some people more than others(poll taxes, voter IDlaws)--The enforcement of the law is not equal to everyone--There are different penalties for the same crime (minor/adult trials)--Police are used to control population in certain areas of town. (thepowerful people/system are using the police unequally) C. Symbolic Interactionism -Labeling Theory- society places a stigma (label) individuals in ways that helpcreate more deviance.Primary vs. Secondary DeviancePrimary- commits crime but doesn’t see self as criminal.Secondary- goes to jail, gets out and cannot get a job, sees self ascriminal, comes out as a better criminal. -Differential Association Theory- Edwin Sutherland, we learn deviance throughour associations/people we interact with. D. Social Control Theory- Why do we follow the rules, what causes conformity.Internal (self) vs. External (social) controlInternal- some have more control than others.External- there are things that happen we can’t control, just react to, some of ushave more of a fear than others. Things that stop us from committing crime- police, jail, family, money.Social Bonds- the more connected we are to society the less likely for crime.II. Types of CrimeCrime- any act violating criminal law.A. Property (street) Crime- nonviolent offences (robbery, vandalism)B. Violent Crime- murder, assault, rape, forcible robbery, every 33 min. crime/murder occurs, every 5 min. rape occurs/is reported, theory of rape happens every 2 mins.C. White Collar- technology—using tech to take things from others. ( Target shopping, ID theft)D. Victimless/Public Order- the willing exchange of illegal goods/services among adults. (prostitution, drugs, gambling)-underground economy-legalization/gov. regulation-reduce
