Crime: Crash Course Sociology #20

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
We-ve talked about deviance more broadly, but today we-re focusing on crime, specifically in the US. We-ll start with legal definitions of crime and use FBI data to get an idea of the amount and kinds of crime committed in the US. We-ll also use that date to paint a demographic picture of who gets arrested, and explain why that-s not necessarily a full look of who commits crime. We-ll also discuss society-s response to crime in the criminal justice system, and how that response has resulted in mass incarceration. Crash Course is made with Adobe Creative Cloud.

It's strange. Criminology is one of those subjects that can't -fix- an issue and so much as provide some ways to try and -improve- the situation. And with good reason, the problems are so insurmountable because of the issues we are facing are arbitrary chaotic, that is; human nature. It's the same pattern but in different shades of colour. I made this quote up in my head a few years ago that goes like - the law is holistic in nature, but individual in application- and as it is, that's too difficult to maintain.

So I'm genuinely curious, how do we know that the majority of arrests don't have less to do with race and more to do with poverty? Or more likely it is a combination? I realize that even minorities in the -upper class- get discriminated against. but I'm just wondering how we know for sure which factors have the biggest impact.

We should point out the fact that just because you have an excuse to commit a crime because of social poverty lack of education etc. Doesn't mean that gives you an excuse to commit said crime.

has there been a study on which races tend to be involved more in gangs and gang related activity? From Hells angels to skin heads to siranyo's adn ofcourse crips and bloods. ?

I like this girl's logic, we all know Bruce or Caitlyn Jenner committed Manslaughter and bc he is so rich, he got away with it, accident or not he or she should be arrested

Do you take these definitions from the Introduction of sociology book? I have a test on Monday and some of the papers in that book is messed up. Please answer

I wonder why animal cruelty isn't a crime. Say, could you guys do a Crash Course Paleontology and Prehistoric Life, and nature and Animal science?

It's sad that this whole video wasn't able to mention structural racism or racial bias in police explicitly. Even though it alluded to it strongly.

Crime is caused by the two primary reasons: (1) poor socioeconomic opportunities and (2) poverty. These are the mother and father of crime.
