Document Summary
Sutherlands differential association theory: he is responsible for taking out biology from criminology. Cultural criminology: cultural criminology is about refusing mainstream criminology because they are dehumanizing, fail to account for emotiona nd motivation, mainstream criminology gets their stats and facts from artifical setting. Control theories suggest instead of exampling why people do nasty stuff. Symbolic interactionism is the philospohy on human actions that will lead to this idea that crime will be caused by crime control. Social control is how we define and react to obdience. Social problems is about how something is made a problem. Moral panics is why people over react to stuff. Not asking why people do bad things but why there are so little crime. Hirschi said there is a universality of animal impulses which means that people have natural rather than deviance impluses to committ crime. Reiss said that crime is a failure of personal and social controls.
