EXPLANATIONS OF CRIMINAL BEHAVIOUR: DISCOVERY FOUR: CHAPTER ONE.
INDIVIDUAL FACTORS.
P: Individual factors effect why people commit crime.(eg gender and race) /Gender is the biggest inequality in crime.
E: Home offics Statistics (HOS): show the rate of arrest of black people is four times the rate of arrest of white people.
/HOS show 80% of all crime is commited by males, 30% of which is male on male. Macaby describes this inequality due to gender socialisation, because men are reared to become more dominant, and independant and women to be neurtiring and co-opperative.
C: - reductionistic = higher rates of arrest in black people is more likey to be due to social disadvantage and violent cub-culture as well as inequality in the justice system. /change values of men, by raising them to seek co-operative means of achieving shared goals.
= government must adress the issues of institutionalised racism.
