Document Summary

Medicalization: the law defers to the medical profession. What was important in the burke and hare case was that people had their levels of way of living. Some were driven to crime due to reality of their situation. Neighbors minded their own business because everyone was in the same boat and needed to get along. People in this community do not call the cops. 70% of those who testified had criminal records of their own. There was loyalty among people within these communities. A deviancy amplification is a media hype phenomenon consisting of a cycle of increasing numbers of reports on an antisocial behaviour or "undesirable" event, leading to a moral panic. 30,000 persons were in the streets during the execution of burke, feeling like justice was being done. Marxism: there was a law and then there was justice. Anyone who thought they were the same thing we(cid:495)re deemed a fool.
