SOC212H1 Study Guide - Comprehensive Final Guide: Hypoglycemia, Carjacking, Juvenile Delinquency
Document Summary
How we should define crime, legal definition could be the definition . modern definition should be base on five things: real definition should be (why people do crime?) Problem of absolutist: it is too sure about the theory and ignore the influence of culture. Everyone have different cultural background, so they have different definition of crime. This theory did not consider about this part. How u view the law: sth really represent our value or it is just politics or it is the combination of people and politics. Some illegal things is accept in society: some law act prohibit cohabit, but it is accept in society. Different country have different law: such as prostitution. Who is doing the reaction, who is the deviant (celebrity do sth bad will all over the news, but maybe it is only normal things, such as do blowjob at cars. )
