Left Realists:

* See crime as a real problem

* Lea and Young identify three causes of crime

1. Relative Deprivation

2. Subculture

3. Marginalisation

R.D: How deprived someone feels in relation to others, if they feel someone has more than they have, they may commit crime because they feel they deserve more.

S: Is a group solution…
