Robert Park - The growth of cities follows the growth of wildlife - Invasion, conflict, accommodation, assimilation - Natural areas (chinatown, little Italy) - Social processes can be learned through careful study of the city
Burgess - Concentric Zones - 1. Central business district 2. transitional zones 3. working class zone 4. residential zone 5. commuter zone * all cities start at zone 1 and build outwards *
Shaw & McKay * Social Disorganization * - Studied claims of Burgess - Found: Zone II had highest crime rates (when people moved out crime decreased) - Race did not matter - Crime is not innate
Three Main Causes of Social Disorganization Theory 1. Poverty 2. Heterogeneity 3. Physical Dilapidation
Do poverty, heterogeneity, and physical dilapidation lead to crime? - NO! It leads to a breakdown in social order - Crime goes up because peoples commitment to the community goes down
Sampson & Groves - Argued that Burgess model was never truly tested - Communities with strong social ties & informal social control have lower rates of delinquency - Sparse social friendship networks, unsupervised teen groups, low community organization = crime
Collective Efficacy - Moral & social cohesion of a community and their likelihood to intervene with the intention of maintaining public order
What is Sutherland's theory called? * Differential Association * (inspired by Shaw & McKay) - Believed community organization impacted crime
Sutherland Differential Association - Nine points - A person becomes delinquent because of an access of definitions favorable to violation to law over definitions unfavorable to law
Sutherland Differential Association - Happens through direct interaction - Motivation - Techniques
Main People in Learning Theory - Pavlov & Classical Conditioning - Skinner & Operant Conditioning - Aker & Social Learning
Pavlov Classical Conditioning - Assumes animals and people learn through associations between stimuli and responses - Taught a dog to salivate to a bell and meat
Skinner Operant Conditioning - Humans seek out rewards and avoid punishment - The rat in the skinner box
Four Main Parts of Skinner's Operant Conditioning - Positive Reinforcement: Get good for doing good - Negative Reinforcement: Reward good behavior through the absence of punishment - Positive Punishment: Get bad for doing bad - Negative punishment: Lose good for doing bad
Akers Social Learning Theory - An expansion of Sutherland's differential association that also incorporates Skinner's Operant Conditioning
Four Main Points of Akers Social Learning Theory 1. Differential Association - interacting w/ others who are favorable/unfavorable to law 2. Definitions - Meanings one attaches to their behavior 3. Differential Reinforcement: Actual or anticipated consequences of a behavior Imitation: Observing what others do
Policy Implications Learning Theory - Remove offenders from other offenders - Cognitive-behavior therapy - Teaching effective child raising techniques
