One crime has to be concealed by another.
Deviance and crime can always be an interesting topic. I choose this chapter because I wanted to explore more into deviance and crime. Why does it happen, who does it, and where in the world is it happening? Everyone in some way had been a deviant which I never thought about until after reading this chapter. It could be something as small as disobeying parents to something big like murder. There are also different kinds of crime from bad to the worst kind of crime. It is all around us so why wouldn’t we want more information on it? It is something that always draws my attention.
The first drawing I choose for this chapter is of a young boy at confession and is asking the priest to go first. It just represents to me that everyone can be a deviant even those who we all believe are never able to do something wrong. The second photo is a man in prison which is shows the thought of crime and what can happen to those who commit a bad crimes. The video under the pictures is showing a few boys being deviant and breaking social norms.
The quote that I choose, above, by Lucius Annaeus Seneca stood out to me as I was reading a whole page of quotes on crime. It stood out to me because to me it is saying that crime is usually just concealed by another crime, which is not truly dealing with the problem just covering it up. Or maybe it’s just meaning that crime only occurs because something bad happens that makes people commit crimes.
*At the end there are two website links and a link to an article that go into depth on the subject of social interactions and social structure.
Websites:
This site discribes the purpose of why sociologist study crime and how it helps see what crime is really about.
This site truly goes into depth on the subject of deviance and gives you a better idea of what it really is.
