Crime and Law

(SOC 109 F24 - Lecture 3, p.2)
Crime and Law: Sides of a coin

• Both want to define and see how the justice system works around deviance.
• Interested in criminal and civil courts.

Normative

• Law can be a way of normal, and identifying deviancy.
  • Can be resistance, if laws are suppressive.
• Societal Norm.
  • Have to take in the norms somehow.
    • Through society, peers, etc.

Social Control

• Not a controller, puppet masters, etc.
• More of a regulation.
• Or Social Regulation. Regulation basically meaning to rule over society. Informal rules.

Solidarity is a Social Fact

Hidden Curriculum

• Similar to MJ Demarco - Unscripted. Seeders.

(SOC 109 F24 - Lecture 3, p.20)
There is a whole system of rules in the school that predetermine the child's conduct. He must come to class regularly, he must arrive at a specified time and with an appropriate bearing and attitude. He must not disrupt things in class…Together they constitute the discipline of the school."

• Teach us the norms for school and work. Might not be the best for Entrepreneurship, or independent thinking. Other methods would be better like old roman strategies with one mentor teaching in real-time and real life to a disciple.

Bizarro Durkheim

• Discipline isn't punishment, cultivating a behaviour and making it habitual. Creating common sense.
• Discipline creates, it doesn't constrain.

• Measure Social Control with variables, statistics, etc.
