Study Notes

Neighborhood Cues

Good neighborhoods have cues such as streetlights, sidewalks, and trees.

Emile Durkheim's Concepts

Durkheim popularized the concept of "anomie" to explain crime in advanced urban societies.
Anomie refers to a situation where societies lack norms to guide individuals.

In small undifferentiated societies, mechanical solidarity is present, where individuals are bound together by shared values and traditions.
In times of rapid social change, social solidarity breaks down.

Functions of Crime and Anomie

Crime and anomie serve as a warning to society that its norms and values are no longer effective.
They also provide an opportunity for society to rethink and redefine its norms and values.
