Document Summary
Sociological approaches have been and continue to be the most prevalent and widely accepted of all crim theories. Between 60 and 75% of the theorizing in crim can be attributed to the field of sociology alone. The long-standing relationship b/t sociology and criminology can be traced back to. Durkheim, the founder of academic sociology in france in the late 1800s and to the sociology department at the university of chicago (chicago school). 2. most of the critical criminologists mentioned in chapter 9, and in tutorial 6, originally came out of the disciple of sociology. 3. quinney, known for his work on peace-making crim and jock young, known for his work on left-realism, were sociologists. If we look at the last 6 chapters. 1. anomie-strain theory, relative deprivation theory, and social disorganization theory are used in chapter 13 to analyze the relationship b/t violent crime and poverty. 2. structual functionalism and social control theory are used in 15 to analyze property crime.
