- Differential association
- criminality is a behaviour which is learnt
- learnt through social interaction
- Associations that occur when younger, for long and intense periods are more likely to be influential
- individuals are exposed to deviant and criminal ideas more than lawabiding ideas
- SHAW & MCKAY
- Cultural transmission
- juvenile delinquency was higher in the zone of transition
- Social disorganisation
- a tradition for young people to learn the deviant and criminal acts
- BURGESS
- Zonal hypothesis
- the zone of transition
- linked with a large amount of deviant behaviour
- Basics
- Established 1892
- Ethnographic research methods
- Focused on the city
- Evaluation
- Why do people develop associations
- Too descriptive
- Not enough to turn into testable hypotheses.
- Need a clear definition of social disorganisation
- Cultural transmission fails to explain certain formations like criminal subcultures
- It fails to explain all types of crime
