Document Summary
Issues of crime and deviance are difficult to define and measure (they are also contested) Crime has been talked about for a long time but not studied . Most scientists agree no such thing as the born criminal , so crim. Lack of empathy, knowledge of social norms, etc. not born into. How everyone is meshed into all kinds of social sources/ different influences. Notions of deviants/crime change over time with personal and shared. Imperatively driven moralities/evolution of society etc. (how they are contested, shift, changed etc. ) = not trying to solve it, but realizing there"s not one sole solution, different reasons, solutions behind/for them. About 50/50 but statement is true) (when the baby boomers gen. start to decline from their crime-prone years, crime rate goes down?) Crime has been declining for the past 25 years. Thinks we need to know he history of crim.
