Document Summary
Recall- kinds of people explanation and kinds of places explanation. Poverty, high levels of unemployment, young people, etc. Macro level policy changes affects what happens in the micro level. Culture defined: the ideas, customs, and social behaviour of a particular people or society. It is within this context that criminologists began exploring criminal subcultures within these urban locales. Use violence to gain respect- through fear. Toronto right now- high levels of violence, retaliatory. Central to the issue of manhood is the widespread belief that one of the most effective ways of gaining respect is to manifest nerve. A man shows nerve by taking another person"s possessions, messing with someone"s woman, throwing the first punch, getting in someone"s face, or pulling a trigger. Its proper display helps check others who would violate one"s person, and it helps build a reputation that works to prevent future challenges. True nerve expresses a lack of fear and death.
