Document Summary
Well this activity is harmful to society so lets just make it illegal: controlling the margins, keep outsiders out, norms and boundaries, the idea of setting up acceptable behaviour, we are defining ourselves of what we are not. How do we do a sociology of crime: at the societal level . Outline: crime as an object of study, law and morality, mill/hart vs. stephen/devlin, drugs, morality offences, survey results, objectivism re-visited, sampson: objectivist sociology as process, constructivism re-visited, haggerty on serial killers, media analysis discussion. Instead of looking at the crime you look at how the process changes: trudeau 1967, the shift in the criminal code, and looks at the drastic changes they did in. Is it something we devise: utilitarian greatest benefit to the greatest number, laws should be really thinking about what provides the greatest benefit in the greatest number, harm principle, define crime to prevent harm to others.
