Left Realism Flashcards
Lea and young
Triangle: 3 causes of crime: - relative deprivation - marginilisation - subculture
Young
Subcultures
USA ghetto is consumed in American dream, focused on Gucci and BMW’s, they must turn to crime to get them.
Young
Inclusion/exclusion
Late modernity causes instability and the rise of media.
This rise of medial means that even the w/c are culturally included in societal goals, however due to their economic exclusion, they must turn to crime to reach these goals.
Kinsey, Lea and Young
Police are poor at doing their job and the public must become involved.
90% of reports are made from public, but as police lose touch with the public, they have to turn to military policing causing more conflict, to reduce crime, police need to build HEARTS AND MINDS.
Counter for LR
Henry and Milovanovic - LR says crime is w/c, ignores white collar.
Rel depriv don’t explain as everyone is relatively deprived.
