Document Summary

Society can be defined this way; the basis of the structure of society. Working class typically works dangerous jobs; does not access capital beyond what they make in minimum wage. Selling labour as means to survive; no say in ultimate decisions for nation/law. May be exploited because they are so dependent on wage. Police is considered the first line of bodies of armed men for the ruling class; defend interest of ruling class. Police"s role is tied directly to the state, and the wealth of the ruling class. Although they in the working class, they work for the well-being of the ruling class. The machine different parts make the whole machine work; they all have their own purposes and particular parts as long as people uphold their roles and functions, we will have social order. There"s always been crime in society; therefore it holds a function in society serves a particular purpose.
