Document Summary

Beneath every society is an economic infrastructure with a means of production. In culturally homogenous societies, conduct norms reflect consensus. In more complex heterogeneous societies, there will be conflict between conduct norms of different groups. The conduct norms of dominant groups will be enacted into criminal law- criminal norms . Culture conflict occurs when individuals from a different group act on the basis of their own conduct norms that have been criminalized. Example- immigrants follow traditional ways that conflict with norms of new society (eg. honour killings, polyamory with tibetans) Average age of victims is 21 years old. Increase in honour killings in the last few decades, 12 from 1999-2012. However, on average, every 6 days a woman in canada is killed by her intimate partner. Not allowed to have minarets in switzerland. The minaret is a sign that muslim people want to bring their norms into a different place, but they are criminalized norms in switzerland.
