???? Why does crime happen?

Theories of Crime

Sociological Determinism

Social learning is the theory that people learn through the behaviors around them and in the enviroment.

Social learning theory was introduced by Albert Bandura

The labeling theory states that the formal and informal application of stigmatizing and deviant "labels" or tags applied to an individual by society will not deter, but rather instigate future deviant or criminal acts.

The labeling theory affects a lot of youths, if they are labeled ans a delinquent then they are going to rebel and act the way people thing they do.

The Anomie Theory states that the gap between the American Dream's goal of

economic success and the oppurtunity to obtain this goal creates structual strain. Norms weaken

and "Anomie" ensues, thus creating high crime rates. When other social institutions (such as the

family ) are weak to begin with or also weakened by the American Dream, the economic institution

is dominant. When such an institutional imbalance exits-as in the U.S.-then crime rates are very high.

Introduced the Anomie theory.

Based upon the view that the fundamental causes are the social and ecomonmic forces operating within society.

All these theories are examples of why crime could happen.
