-
Week 6 (17Q): Focus on Friends and Gangs
- Friends: Criminal behavior learned through delinquent group affiliations. Girls and boys are differentially exposed to and affected by criminogenic conditions, leading to differing youth crime rates. Boys are more likely than girls to have delinquent friends.
- Gangs: Gangs are categorized into levels based on their structure and activity; level 1 includes fluid friendship groups with unplanned criminal activity, while level 2 involves criminal activity planned over a longer period with no leadership structure.
-
Week 7 (9Q): Focuses on media and its portrayal of crime, delinquency, and youth.
- Media Narratives: Crime and delinquency frequently portrayed as committed by 'bad' youth; social issues like race/ethnicity are often stereotyped, which is also applicable to gender dynamics.
-
Week 7 (Media) (Cont): Media portrayals of youth and crime:
- Criminal behavior depicted through various physical markers (e.g., tattoos, piercings).
- Race/ethnicity is often stereotyped in criminal depictions.
- Youth are frequently portrayed as aggressive, and the media often lacks attention to the actual issues causing the delinquency.
-
Crime Prevention: Crime prevention strategies target populations at three levels:
- Primary: Prevents problems by focusing on the entire population (neighborhood/school).
- Secondary: Focuses on specific groups experiencing problems and those at risk of worsening issues (i.e., unemployment, substance abuse).
- Tertiary: Focuses on specific individuals/populations experiencing chronic problems (violent offenders) and helps effectively control future issues.
- Risk and Resiliency: Risk factors predict youth delinquency; individual resilience is impacted by protective factors, risk factors , and situational factors that influence.
- School and Delinquency: School commitment is correlated to decreased likelihood of violent and property-related delinquency. Effective schools and teaching strategies create opportunities to reduce youth problems.
- Risk and Resiliency (factors): Lack of structure in classrooms, socioeconomic factors (poverty, etc), hard diversity, and lack of diversity can all lead to delinquency.
- Work/Unemployment: Youth faces high unemployment rates and marginal position in the labor force; factors such as low education levels and less training/experience directly correlate with higher levels of crime.
- Homeless Youth: Vulnerable youth often face experiences of homelessness, including daily activities at shelters, peers as critical support for survival and safety, hunger as a factor in potentially committing criminal offences, and periods of boredom are filled with time spent "hanging out".
- Make Money: Formal economy activities and informal economy activities are common (begging, squeegee cleaning), as well as social assistance (e.g., family benefits).
- Health Issues: Lack of sleep and poor nutrition, as well as factors such as injuries, and difficulties in maintaining hygiene, are all major problems associated with youth.
- Moral Panic: Media portrayals influence how societal values and interests are viewed, highlighting the "folk devils" (often youth) as threats.
- Social Problems Definition (Public Arenas): Problematic conditions are defined publicly, through social discourse and actions.
- News on Youth Crime: Media portrayal of youth crime is often sensationalized and emphasizes violence, delinquency, and dangerous behavior.
- Biology and Physiology: Early criminological theorizing suggested biological differences between men and women; some perspectives are focused on societal factors and how those might determine factors like criminal behaviour.
- Chivalry Hypothesis, Power-Control Theory: The chivalry hypothesis claims that female delinquency is less likely. Power-control theory focuses on how family structure affects delinquency rates.
- Status Offenses: Actions that are legal for adults but considered delinquent for youth.
- Canadian Court System: Focus on youth court pathways and differences in youth court versus adult court processing.
