discussion

Description

Discuss the relationship between Institutional Anomie Theory and crime. If one is a member of the lower class, does it predispose that person to a life of crime? If negative labels are damaging, do positive ones help insulate children from crime-producing forces in their environment?  If criminal behavior is learned, who taught the first criminal?  Discuss, in general detail, how the ideas of Karl Marx are reflected in the views of many contemporary critical criminologists? Could you design a program for recreational drug users applying the Restorative Model, and what would it be?
