Document Summary
How on earth did canadians get to this conclusion when crimes have been decreasing since the 90s. Who is keeping street crime on the agenda. Volkswagen defrauded half a million customers, they got caught and at the end of the day they went to court and negotiated in their own interests. Now they"re going about like the way they were before. Really great campaigns, scholars, research and over time it has become a social problem. Concerns: when we analyze a problem and how we analyze a problem. Frustrates him is that sociologists are always late to the party (already been de ned as a problem and thats why they want to solve the problem; job as a social scientist is to understand why its on the agenda) He was fed up with sociologists that were pretending they were experts on certain things because they studied it (not their job; leave it to social workers, police etc. )
