Crime and locality - Coggle Diagram

- - - - city transitional zones have more deviant behaviour
        
        because people don't have respect for eachother
        
        however it doesn't consider white-collar crime
        
        transitional zones: areas where people go from their houses to work and vicecersa
- - - - highest criminal activity
      - Called the "zone of transition"
        
        highly populated
        
        a large immigrant population
        
        which become successful, which brings more immigrants
        
        Unsettled
        
        Social deprivation
  - - - Puts blame on the envroment and not the individual
      - starting point for other Sub-cultural theories
    - - intervists would criticise the study as they use official statistic
      - it doesn't explain organised crime
      - it's still evident that in urban areas there are more chances to commit crime than in rural ares
  - - - zones with more social disorganisation pass deviant norms through generations which make them more leaning into alternative values
- - - - because it's a social construct
  - - - therefore it's more likely that criminals get caught
    - - so the criminals receive a lighter sentence, if any, because of the sense of community in rural areas
    - - Youth crime in low-income neighbourhoods is deemed as deliquency
        
        instead in high-income neighbourhood it's labelled as "youthful high spirits"
        
        so young people are more prosecuted if they live in poorer areas
        
        which makes people think more crime is committed in those neighbourhoods and as a result more policing is made there that increases the chances of get caught
        
        a self-fulfilling prophecy
  - - - recognises the flaws in crime and urban statistical datas as they're a social construction
    - - doesn't explain, in a marxist view, why the ruling class would want a selective law enforcement by area
      - it doesn't explain how some areas have genuinely more crime
- - - - the reward
      - the risks
      - the criminal's skills
  - - - takes in consideration crime fluctuation
      - looks for crime influences
    - - doesn't consider police labelling
