Researching Everyday Crime
Cards in this deck (7)
- 1What does Administrative criminology mean?It draws a distinction between criminal involvement and criminal events. There has been growing disenchantment over soft rehabilitative strategies & scepticism about the effectiveness of the CJS.
- 2What does Felson argue?People make choices but they cannot choose the choices available to them, situational crime prevention argues that crime has 3 elements; motivated offenders, suitable targets & capable guardians.
- 3What was the Crime & Disorder Act 1998?It meant further devolution of crime control, crime prevention focused on community safety.
- 4What does Crawford promote?A multi-agency approach to crime, with three main ideas: increasing mechanisms of informal social control & maximising surveillance, emphasis on anti-social behaviour (Wilson & Kelling’s 'broken windows’) & opportunity reduction.
- 5How have rational choice & situational crime prevention strategies been criticised?They just cause displacement, a “fortress society” with fortress aesthetics, they are over optimistic & what about limits to offenders rationality.
- 6What does Hughes argue?There is a danger that popularism often results in retribution. Crimes against women, young people, minority ethnic group members & gay men/lesbians are under-represented as 'community problems'.
- 7What is the risk with selective appropriation of the ideas of the local community in consultative processes?It lead to a rather selective articulation of local interests or, worse, even a misrepresentation of them, a skewed consultation involving poor methodology & crime prevention becomes an issue of managerialism.
