Document Summary
Marx: class conflict under capitalism, also reflected in law. Instrumental marxism: the bourgeoisie wins because their interests are protected: look at what laws are made. Examples: squeegee kids (interests of middle class commuters, and middle class ideas about work), vagrancy laws (interests of factory owners). Western & pettit (imprisonment policies), pager (mark of a criminal record), uggen & manza (felon disenfranchisement). Capital wins, even when you think otherwise: look at what laws are followed or avoided. Structural marxism: there is inequality internal to the system: epeat pla(cid:455)ers i(cid:374) the s(cid:455)ste(cid:373) do (cid:271)etter tha(cid:374) (cid:862)o(cid:374)e shotters(cid:863) (cid:894)gala(cid:374)ter(cid:895) Durkhei(cid:373) i(cid:374)stead of (cid:272)lass di(cid:448)isio(cid:374), fo(cid:272)us o(cid:374) (cid:449)hat keeps so(cid:272)iet(cid:455) (cid:862)together(cid:863) Worried about changing society, from mechanical to organic solidarity.
