Crime is a real problem, more concerned with reform: opposes class inequality, gradual reform is the only way, need realistic solutions rather than future goals
Causes of crime:
- Relative deprivation: when people feel their life is unfair , they resort to crime
- Subculture: groups solution to relative deprivation,
- Marginalisation: unemployed youth are marginalised, powerless mass
Late modernity and crime: Younge- in late modernity, problem of WC crime is worse. Harsher welfare policies and destabalisation of familiy lead to uncertainty and need for monetary success
Solutions:
- Democratic policing: involving community in policy creation w a multi agency approach
- Reducing inequality: removes underlying causes
- ignores rulign class crime
- over-predicts amount of WC crime (uses inner city stats)
