Soc 201: Criminology 9/29/05
Today we will be discussing the Chicago School of Sociology and how it relates to the field we are studying.
History of the Chicago School
Handout on Further Reading if you'd like
Today, we will discuss in class Social Disorganization Theory
In the original study, the analysts found that even when new immigrant groups moved into an area due to stratification and other factors, juvenile deliquency rates remained at the same levels. Therefore, they supposed that it was not the "constitution" of a particular ethnic of economic group that caused deliquency, but rather the environment itself. One definition of the problem is "The inability of a community structure to realize the common values of its residents and maintain effective social controls."
Discussion question for class: How much do you believe environmental factors play into criminal behavior?
It is exam time again. Study Guide for Monday's Exam The questions will be taken from the first 25.
