- CRIME AND DEVIANCE
- MARXIST THEORY
- CHAMBLISS
- laws are made to protect private properly and to benefit the bourgeoisie to maximise profit and its the main source of income.
- SNIDER
- the capitalist state is reluctant to pass laws which would affect corporate businesses and only pass ones which benefit them to maximise profits
- MILLIBAND
- people who commit corporate crime are more likely to get away with it because the judges are from the same background and social class so will side with them.
- ALTHUSSER
- controlled through different institutions. I.S.A- family, religion, media. R.S.A- police, army, government
- GORDON
- criminogenic capitalism, the government breeds crime, people who are poor are more likely to steal
- BOX
- social construction of crime and deviance. e.g. murder- its alright for the army to kill but not alright for anyone else to do it.
- CHAMBLISS
- FUNTIONALIS-T THEORY
- DURKHEIM
- crime is inevitable/normal and functional/collective sentiments/society of saints.
- crime is functional- boundary testing
- KINGSLY DAVIS
- crime as a safety valve- e.g. prostitution prevents ****.
- CLINARD
- crime as a warning device, helps new things be put in place to prevent things like that from happening again.
- MERTON
- strain theory- people strive for the American dream, but cant always get it through legitimate ways so they have to use illegitimate ways instead
- HIRSCHI

- DURKHEIM
- INTERACTIO-NISM THEORY
- BECKER
- no such thing as a deviance act until someone labels it as one. someone who is deviant is someone who has been labelled. deviance is a social construction.
- LEMERT
- PRIMARY DEVIANCE- deviance acts which haven't been labelled as deviant. SECONDARY DEVIANCE- deviant act which has been labelled as deviant and can lead to public shaming.
- CICOUREL
- negotiation of justice- middle class delinquents are more likely to get away with the crimes because their parents can negotiate their way out of it and say that it wont happen again.
- JOCK YOUNG
- hippies and marijuana- the police label them as deviant, so they start to act different and they change their norms and values.
- CHAMBLISS
- saints and roughnecks- the saints are M/C and get away with being deviant and the roughnecks are W/C and are more likely to get prosecuted.
- BRAITHWAIT-E
- REINTEGRATIVE SHAMING- the act and actor are labelled as 'bad'. DISINTEGRATIVE SHAMING-the act is labelled as bad but not the actor.
- BECKER
- MARXIST THEORY
