Study Notes
Crime and Society
- Crime is a broad topic, encompassing many forms of illegal activity.
- White-collar crime involves illegal actions by company employees or officers, often for personal or corporate gain. Examples include fraud and embezzlement. These crimes are often committed by individuals of high social standing within their occupations.
- Corporate crime refers to illegal activities carried out by employees to benefit the financial performance of corporations. This can include deliberate actions that cause harm or injuries, not just financial losses
- Occupational crime involves using one's occupation to commit fraud, embezzlement, and theft. This encompasses workers across various positions. Non-white collar workers can also commit occupational crimes.
Cybercrime
- Cybercrime is any crime that uses computer technology or the internet.
- Hackers are individuals involved in cybercrime, and there are various types including:
- Black hats: hack for personal gain, revenge or malicious purposes.
- White hats: morally good intentions that may break into networks or systems for improvement or demonstration eg., finding vulnerabilities.
- Grey hats: hack for personal gain, but without malicious intent.
- Suicide hats: deliberately cause harm without regard for consequences or repercussions.
Controlling Crime and Restorative Justice
- Traditional methods of controlling crime often focus on retribution and deterrence rather than rehabilitation. Punishment, while meant to deter, doesn't always stop repeat offenders.
- The cost of crime continues to rise—a 2014 report from the Fraser Institute showed a significant increase.
- Opportunity reduction strategies prevent crime through minimizing opportunities for criminal activity. These approaches include:
- Primary prevention: addressing environmental conditions that generate crime.
- Secondary prevention: identifying potential offenders and intervening before a crime occurs.
- Tertiary prevention: stopping repeat offenders.
- Restorative justice emphasizes mediation, restitution, and community participation to address crime. Its goal is to heal relationships between victims, offenders, and communities, rather than just punishment.
Role of the Police
- Policing dates back thousands of years, evolving from early forms to modern structures.
- The role of the police has changed dramatically over time, encompassing various aspects such as community engagement, maintaining order, and responding to criminal activity.
