Institutional Anomie Theory

Messner and Rosenfield (2001)

-Obsession with individual wealth and 'winner' mentality

-But has pressure to achieve, so results in crime (Ill do anything to achieve it) 

Education Role to Play 

-Focuses on labour market (making you employable) over values 

Societies with free market and lack of welfare = higher crime 

-Downes and Hansen (2006) more we spend on welfare, less imprisonment 

-Salvesberg (1995) post-communist eastern europe. Once communism fell in Europe (1989) it saw a rapid rise in crime after that
