These assumptions are ordered in patterned ways referred to as theories. Theories in turn provide links between a variety of variables and crime/delinquency. We will be exploring a number of these theoretical frameworks in varying degrees of detail. Objectives: To provide a basic understanding of social scientific theories to the problem of crime. To illustrate general and specific policy implications of leading theoretical approaches. To provoke a critical ability for analyzing both scientific theory and everyday explanations of crime and delinquency in the media. Required Reading: Curran, Daniel J. and Claire M.

22. INTRODUCTION TO SOCIOLOGY Reflection report questions on Durkheim. 1. Explain in detail Durkheim’s conceptof anomie. Explain. Identify some problems with his idea of anomie. http://husky1.stmarys.ca/~evanderveen/wvdv/classical_crim_theory/reflection_rpts

REFLECTION REPORTS In each of these questions, always consider them in terms of crime, not just life in general. Cite examples of crimes which exemplify your arguments, but also note situations which may present contradictions. Reflection report questions on Beccaria: 1. Part of Beccaria’s ideas incorporate the notion of the social contract. Explain what this is in detail. What are your thoughts on this idea of the social contract? Now that you are aware of this idea, how do you participate in this social contract? What are the advantages and disadvantages of being part of the social contract within Canadian society? 2. Describe Beccaria’s ideas on punishment with regard to the following: certainty, celerity and proportionality. How are these ideas relevant and not relevant to crime and punishment today? Reflection report questions on Bentham: 1. Explain Bentham’s ideas about pain and pleasure. What are your thoughts on these ideas? Bentham argues that the result is greatest happiness for greatest number since with everyone seeking out of their own self-interest in happiness, part of a person’s happiness is bound to the happiness of others, thus it is in our own self-interest to seek happiness. Do you see this happening in society? In the criminal justice system? 2. According to Bentham, laws and punishments are to ensure the principle of "greatest happiness for the greatest number". Encompassed within this is the idea of majority rules. Explain this principle, then discuss this principle with regard to issues that may arise when considering people who might find themselves in a minority position within society.

23. INTRODUCTION TO SOCIOLOGY Merton identifies 4 types of adaptations for people experiencing anomie, each contrastingwith path of conformity. Various introduction to sociology textbooks. http://husky1.stmarys.ca/~evanderveen/wvdv/classical_crim_theory/merton.htm

ROBERT MERTON His ideas stem from the traditional sociological theory of Functionalism and from Emile Durkheim. Functionalism: question is what is function of deviance and conformity; tries to explain why deviance continues to exist despite pressures to conform and obey, not on how person comes to commit deviant act or why on some occasions crimes do and do not occur unifying force, social and social stability standard and boundary setting, defining and maintaining limits of proper behaviour safety valve (tolerate some release) mechanism of social control what is deviant may vary but deviance is found in all societies Merton identifies problems with Functionalism and its assumptions of deviance: Assumption 1: harmonious integration of all parts of society deviance may be functional for some and not for others Assumption 2: a particular pattern of social interaction exists and thus must be functional consider net balance of positive and negative consequences of said patterns Assumption 3: genuine societal needs can only be served by structural unit which appears to positively or functionally contribute to fulfillment of such needs consider latent and manifest functions, consider other alternatives for fulfilling needs (manifest functions are those recognized and intended, latent functions are those unrecognized and unintended)

[PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION] This is Chapter 5 of the web-publication, European Proponents of Sociology Prior To World War I. Swedish version available in Sociologins följeslagare, (Ratio, Stockholm 1993). Hans L Zetterberg Social differentiation and anomie: Émile Durkheim What characterizes our society more than anything else? Industrialization, said Saint-Simon. The class struggle, said Marx. Rationalization, said Weber. Organizations, said Michels. Residues in the elite, said Pareto. The answer given by France's great sociologist, Émile Durkheim, was differentiation. He gave this answer for this first time in a book published in 1893, De la division du travail social The Division of Labor in Society ), but it recurs in various forms throughout his life's work. Two predecessors: Maine and Tönnies Durkheim was not the first person to point out the link between differentiation and modernization. But he carried out an investigation of the connection that shows far greater originality and depth of thought than the work of his predecessors. The English lawyer Henry Summer Maine (1822-88) took up the subject when, in his book

25. Anomie Theory anomie Theory. As you should be aware, in the past, the sociology of education haslooked at examination differences between males and females to illustrate http://www.sociology.org.uk/tece1tp.htm

Anomie Theory We have already referred to this theory when we looked at gender socialisation within the family group. Specifically, we referred to it in terms of evidence for the influence of primary socialisation on subject choice and differential educational achievement. However, it is clear that, in terms of secondary socialisation , this type of theory may have some currency in terms of explaining the problems faced by women in our society / educational system. We can, therefore, examine it in a little more depth in this particular section. As you should be aware, in the past, the sociology of education has looked at examination differences between males and females to illustrate various outcomes of the hidden curriculum . Over the past few years, however, both males and females seem to perform equally well (or equally badly) in both GCSE and A-level examinations. This has led to the focus of sociological attention moving away from educational performance to a less apparent manifestation of the hidden curriculum , namely a gendered curriculum (in simple terms, the idea that males and females are encouraged to study different subjects). Some

Title: Is Anorexia a Reaction to Anomie? Syllabus Area: Health Area of sociological interest: Deviance, Social Control and Illness Hypothesis "Anorexia in young women is a physical condition brought on by a situation of anomie" Aims 1. To investigate the relationship (if any) between social control (conformity) and health in young women. 2. To examine the social pressures that contribute to the social construction of health and illness. Research Design The basic design for a project of this type will involve some way of exploring the experiences of people who either are or have been anorexic. Of the two, the latter is probably the most likely way forward (although you will have to be aware of clear problems of reliability and validity). Some form of interview method would probably be most appropriate. The view of health professionals (counsellors, doctors, nurses, etc.) might also be useful, if only as a source of comparative theory. You will, however, have to be aware of the theoretical backgrounds and models of explanation each of these will bring to a piece of research. Sample Type: Snowball / Opportunity (this type of sample, while not particularly representative, may be the only way to make contact with respondents).

Suicide "Collective tendencies have an existence of their own; they are forces as real as cosmic forces, though of another sort; they, likewise, affect the individual from without..." (Thompson, 1982, p. 109 [excerpt from Suicide Suicide , Durkheim's third major work, is of great importance because it is his first serious effort to establish an empericism in sociology, an empiricism that would provide a sociological explanation for a phenomenon traditionally regarded as exclusively psychological and individualistic. Durkheim proposed this definition of suicide: "the term suicide is applied to all cases of death resulting directly or indirectly from a positive or negative act of the victim himself, which he knows wil produce this result" (1982, p. 110 [excerpt from Suicide ]). Durkheim used this definition to separate true suicides from accidental deaths. He then collected several European nations' suicide rate statistics, which proved to be relatively constant among those nations and among smaller demographics within those nations. Thus, a collective tendency towards suicide was discovered. Of equal importance to his methodology, Durkheim drew theoretical conclusions on the social causes of suicide. He proposed four types of suicide, based on the degrees of imbalance of two social forces: social integration and moral regulation.

Vander Zanden, The Ohio State University (Emeritus) Deviance and Crime Chapter Summary The Nature of Deviance In all societies the behavior of some people at times goes beyond that permitted by the norms. Social life is characterized not only by conformity but by deviance, behavior that a considerable number of people view as reprehensible and beyond the limits of tolerance. Social Properties of Deviance. Deviance is not a property inherent in certain forms of behavior; it is a property conferred upon particular behaviors by social definitions. Definitions as to which acts are deviant vary greatly from time to time, place to place, and group to group. We typically find that norms are not so much a point or a line but a zone. Deviant acts also can be redefined, as has happened in recent years in the United States. Most societies can absorb a good deal of deviance without serious consequences, but persistent and widespread deviance can be dysfunctional. But deviance may also be functional by promoting social solidarity, clarifying norms, strengthening group allegiances, and providing a catalyst for change.

According to Martindale, anomie is the "strict counterpart of the idea of social solidarity.

Vol 4, No 1 Vol 4, No 2 Vol 4, No 3 Vol 4, No 4 SOCIOLOGICAL FORUM Vol. 4, No. 1 March 1989 CONTENTS A Note from the Editor Robin M. Williams, Jr. ARTICLES Social Affinity Among Top Managerial Executives of Large Corporations in Korea Eui Hang Shin and Seung Kwon Chin Korea is a society subject to quite diverse social forces. Modernization "should" encourage reform, but the yoke of tradition restrains this tendency. This paper examines the patterns of preferential treatment of executives, based on family, school, and regional ties, by owners of large "Jaebol" corporations in Korea. We found that about 21% of the total number of executive positions in the large corporations were occupied by individuals who had some type of "family tie" with the owners of the corporations. Also, there is a strong tendency of corporation owners to employ the executives of the same regional origin of birth as their own, but the affinity based on school ties was not as strong as that of regional origin. The findings of this study seem to support arguments of previous studies that claimed a "trust" factor as a main cause of social similarity and affinity between owners and executives in corporations. KEY WORDS: Korea; social affinity; top management; preferential hiring; ascriptive ties.

Major Works by Robert K. Merton Social Theory and Social Structure, Enlarged Edition, 1968 [1949], The Free Press: New York From the Publisher: Since its first publication in 1949, Social Theory and Social Structure has become established as a work of central importance in the social science. Providing the most systematic outline of the theoretical foundations of functional sociology, it has been widely adopted and read by social scientist throughout the world. The 1968 enlarged edition of this volume contains the complete 1957 edition and two new essays. These essays, nearly 75 pages of new material, form an expanded introduction to the book. The first, "On the History and Systematic of Sociological Theory," states the case for the distinctive functions of histories of sociological theory and formulations of currently utilized theory. Professor Merton shows how the intellectual requirements for a history of sociological thought call for more than chronologically ordered synopses of sociological doctrine. The second, "On Sociological Theories of the Middle Range," reviews the character and workings of this type of theorizing in the light of uses and criticisms that have developed during the past two decades.
