Resource summary
marxism
see society as divided into two.
bourgeosie and proleteriat.
society is set up to help the rich
and to keep it capitalist
this is why the poor commit crime
crime is envitable in capitalism because capitalism is criminogenic, by its very nature is causes crime
structural theory
economic base
determines shape of superstructure
capitalism
capitalism is based on the exploitation of the working class
uses them as a means to and end (profit)
it is therefore damaging to the working class and this may force them to commit crime
poverty may mean that crime is the only way the w/c can survive
crime may be the onlyway they can obtain the consumer good erncouraged by capitalist advertising
alienation and lack of control may lead to frustration and aggression, resulting in crimes such as violence and vandalism
see law making and law enforcements as only serving the interests of the capitalist class
the r/c have the power to prevent the introduction of laws that would threaten their interests
police and courts tend to ignore crimes of the powerful
laws are sometimes passed to make it look like they are there to benefit the w/c. for example the health and safety at work act
critisims
largely ignores the relationship between crime and important non-class inequallaties such as ethinicity and gender
too deterministic and over-predicts the amount of crime in the w/c
not all poor people commit crime despite the pressure of poverty
