SOCA02H3 Lecture 4: lecture notes
Document Summary
People develop ties or bonds to the established order we are tied into order. Or you can tie to deviant groups therefore both :d. The proper question is not why do some people engage in deviance . Have strong propensity to deviance they can be fun and rewarding! E. g. heroine makes you happy! ( take the best orgasm you had and multiply it by 1000x hahahahah) We conform because of attachment & involvement in conventional institutions. E. g. if you smoke pot and get your record on the police :) you can"t become a lawyer. **** this is due to more supervision of girls, and more attachment to family*** Travis hirschi and the control theory of crime (from bryn) Adolescents are most prone to deviance and crime. Those who are most prone are likely to lack 4 types of social control. 1) social attachments to respectable role models. 2) legitimate opportunities for education & a good job.
