...of crime and deviance. Quality of life and strong social actions also deter delinquency. This theory explains why crime committed by lower class communities is more prominent than neighborhoods from communities in better economic areas. An element of social disorganization theory is poverty. A lack of wealth can be due to lack of employment opportunities. When employment opportunities increase, we see residents flee to more secure and stable communities. When employment opportunities remain low, this is the beginning of economic deprivation. When economic deprivation occurs, social disorganization occurs which can lead to crime. Poverty can have a big influence on crime. When there are not any positive opportunities like employment, people may turn to other methods to put food on the table. The Chicago School of Criminology refers to work conducted by faculty to understand why crime and delinquency rates are higher in...

...Social conflict theory, which can be strongly compared to Marxism, argues that factors such as the economic structure and capitalism produce crime and that those with the best resources make rules and laws which plays a role in why the upper class has the means to hide their crime, like in Dorm Room Dealers. Minorities suffer from this system more so than whites, rich or poor. African Americans are disproportionately represented in poverty, because in America, blacks were set up to fail from the beginning. African Americans were pushed into the inner cities and highways were built to benefit whites in the suburbs and further separate the races. This was not done only to segregate, but also to form a cycle of poverty and crime within the black...

...Chicago indicative of a socially disorganized community? It is noteworthy that majority or at least 70% of said homicide incidence involved Black victims and offenders. Walker, Spohn, and Delone (2012) argue that the high involvement of Black people in the criminal justice system can be explained by discrimination and structural inequalities in the American society. The community structural factors and other social factors as they relate to crime serve as the common theme in the readings subject of this critique. Most specifically, this critique examines Sampson and Groves’ (1989) research testing Shaw and McKay’s Social Disorganization Theory (SDT); Ellen and O’regan’s (2009) study on the patterns and implications of crime in the U.S. cities; Walker, Spohn, and Delone’s (2012) discussion on race, ethnicity, social structure and crime; and Reiman and Leighton’s (2013) review of crime control in America. Further, the analysis of said readings is applied in the...

...entrepreneurial programs would allow students to show how the revitalization of education in America is most effective. Strengthening the future generation is imperative, presenting the individual student with aspiration of confidence, potential, character, and self-esteem will allow the student to grow in the right direction for the future generation. Furthermore, connecting these entrepreneurial programs directly to students’ education would demonstrate how vital important it is and how they can make a difference within the community because it directly involves revitalizing society. There are volumes of disadvantaged students that live in major inner cities throughout the United States such as Baltimore City, Maryland. In the story “The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates,” the author Wes Moore has written true-life stories of his youth that correlates with the other Wes Moore that lived in his neighborhood. By funding the entrepreneurial programs, students would learn “the difference between failures or successes, which we become more...

...concept of gathering people together in an outdoor space in order to collectively work towards the common goal of planting and harvesting produce can be traced in the US to the late 19th century. Community gardens still exist in the US today with the same goal as before, but the objectives that are witnessed in contemporary community gardens have grown to include goals such as training youth in agriculture and nutrition to serving as an important part of people’s health and wellness lifestyles. Several reasons will be listed in this paper that explain the growing and renewed popularity of community gardens which further include economic and medical benefits, as well as individual contribution to the community. This movement in community garden growth is reflected as most movements are in the US’ current political environment. Our current presidential administration sees the First Lady, Michelle Obama, actively promoting health consciousness in particular among youth while making a strong case on the benefits to be reaped from community gardens. On a different note, our recent national economic environment makes a reasonable argument for supporting cost-saving, and even income-generating, ideas such as community gardening. Introduction El Paso County’s most recent addition to its collective gardening community was a unveiled less than a year ago. The Fit-To Grow community garden at Ascarate Park joined the growing number of gardens not only in the southwest...

...Booklet 2 - Crime and Variables Patterns of Official Statistics: Crimes reported by victims and the general public, and recorded by the police Crimes detect and solved by the police Crimes reported to the British Crime Survey. This has occurred annually since 1983, interviewing approx 47000 adults about their experiences as victims of crimes such as burglary and assault. Problems with official statistics some sociologists, such as Barry Hindess, have argued that official statistics on crime, do have serious deficiencies. There are several reasons for these deficiencies. there are many reasons why the public may not report all crimes to the police: they may not realise they’ve been a victim, embarrassment, they may implicate themselves in a criminal act, etc. Another reason there are also many reasons why the police may not take action against all offences which are known to them. Sociological studies of the police, such as that conducted by Simon Holdaway in the 1980s, demonstrate that the police simply cannot take action against all offences which they identify, and therefore have to prioritize their activities. Gender and Crime – What the statistics say? – The statistics are correct - womens crime rate is lower Reasons why: The statistics are correct - mens crime rate is lower Reasons why: The statistics are incorrect – women commit more crime - they are not caught / treated more leniently Women are committing more crime today Women and victimisation ...

...The 4th of August 2011 the police shot Mark Duggan, a black man living in Tottenham – a borough in Greater London. The event created a strong reaction form the local youth. After a march on Tottenham Police station to protest the death of the man, the demonstration turned into a series of violent acts in the streets that quickly developed and spread across London and other cities all over England. A major debate arose about the inner causes of the insurrections and the media and politicians promptly pointed out several hypothesis. The August 2011 events have been primarily interpreted, especially amongst the political class, through a lens that emphasises criminality. ,one prominent argument advocates that the cause of the unrest was the moral decay of ‘a feral underclass’ (Scrambler; Grover 2011) However, many of such explanations tend to be mostly speculative and they often fail to provide a consistent account of the causes of the riots based on solid evidence (the LSE/theguardian, 2011, Solomos, 2011). Against this background this essay attempts to disentangle the motives of the London 2011 riots, by focusing on the relations of causality between factors and events that led to the burst of the unrest. It argues that urban social inequalities as well as uneven processes of exclusion and inclusion of a marginalised class are the main factor underlying the disturbances. Yet this essay claims that these riots need also to be analysed in the very specific context in which...

...World Cities The global pattern of urbanisation: millionaire cities, mega cities and world cities • At a global scale, rapid urbanisation has occurred over the last 50 years. • Almost 50% of the world’s population lives in towns and cities. 19% of the world’s population lives in cities of more than 1 million people. • The most urbanised continents are Europe, North and South America and Oceania and the least urbanised continents are Asia and Africa. • The number of urban dwellers is by far largest in Asia, with 1.4 billion people living in towns and cities (40% of the population). • Urbanisation is increasing most rapidly in Africa and Asia. • This trend is expected to continue so that by 2025 almost half the population of these continents will live in urban areas and 80% of urban dwellers will live in developing countries. • Increased global urbanisation has resulted in the development of many millionaire cities. • There is also a significant number of enormous megacities, some of which are classed as world cities. ❖ Millionaire cities are those with more than 1 million people. India and China have the most millionaire cities in the world. ❖ Megacities are those with more than 10 million people, of which there are 20 (15 in the developing world) ❖ World cities are those which have great influence on a global scale, because of their financial status and worldwide commercial power....

...As of late, our President Donald Trump, has placed, it seems, a lot more focus on foreign policy, all the while neglecting our domestic affairs and economic growth. Albeit he has affirmed his “America first” approach, I feel his actions are a little out-of-touch with the general population and although the intent and bravado is there, the follow through is nowhere to be found. Since our President, is now responsible for setting the domestic policy agenda for the United States, I feel it is imperative that more attention be put onto education, infrastructure and the welfare of Americans. Teachers all over the United States are underpaid and have classrooms that are over-crowded. It feels bittersweet to give our troops a raise while forgetting all of the people responsible for educating our youth. Better schools with enough teachers and programs that help students grow through whatever subjects they wish to study are necessary for the continued economic growth of our country. Cutting programs like the arts stifles children and pushes conformity to a standardized form of education that as of late feels like it’s doing more harm than good. Our children are learning to pass a test, not getting a proper education. The budget cuts to the department of education further stress just how out-of-touch he is with the American public –...

...administration will explicate Reagan’s administration detrimental effect on members of minority groups which, in some cases, still affects these groups today. These policies include but are not limited to the reduction of social programming, the impoverishment of black people, the “War on Drugs”, the administration’s response to crises such as AIDS, and its approach to Civil Rights and LGBT rights (or lack thereof). When former President Ronald Wilson Reagan was first elected into office in 1980, the country’s inflation rate was the highest it had been since 1947. After his election, President Reagan wasted no time in implementing his domestic policies for the economy. His economic policies were based on a school of thought called supply side economics. His economic plan included the following propositions: “reduce the growth of government spending, reduce marginal tax rates on income from labor and capital, and reduce regulation, and control the money supply to reduce inflation”. As a result, the administration afforded the American taxpayers the...

...moments of controversy and consensus, the War on Poverty defined a new era for American liberalism and added new layers to the American welfare state. Legislatively, the first two years were the most active. Between President Lyndon Johnson’s State of the Union address in 1964 and the liberal setbacks suffered in the congressional elections of 1966, the Johnson administration pushed through an unprecedented amount of antipoverty legislation. The Economic Opportunity Act (1964) provided the basis for the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO), the Job Corps, Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA), Upward Bound, Head Start, Legal Services, the Neighborhood Youth Corps, the Community Action Program (CAP), the college Work-Study program, Neighborhood Development Centers, small business loan programs, rural programs, migrant worker programs, remedial education projects, local health care centers, and others. The antipoverty effort, however, did not stop there. It encompassed a range of Great Society legislation far broader than the Economic Opportunity Act alone. Other important measures with antipoverty functions included an $11 billion tax cut (Revenue Act of 1964), the Civil Rights Act (1964), the Food Stamp Act (1964), the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (1965), the Higher Education Act (1965), the Social Security amendments creating 2 Medicare/Medicaid (1965), the...
