  2. 2TOPIC 1: FUNCTIONALIST, STRAIN AND SUBCULTURAL THEORIES
    [blank_start]Durkheim's[blank_end] functionalist theory:
    • Socialisation and [blank_start]Social control[blank_end] are two key mechanisms which allow social [blank_start]solidarity[blank_end] to occur in society.
    The inevitability of crime:
    • Functionalists see [blank_start]too much[blank_end] crime as [blank_start]destabilising[blank_end] society.
    • They also see crime as [blank_start]inevitable[blank_end] and universal- Durkheim, 'crime is [blank_start]normal[blank_end]... an integral part of all healthy societies.'
    • There are two reasons why C&D are found in all societies;
    1.Not everyone is [blank_start]equally[blank_end] effectively [blank_start]socialised[blank_end] into the shared norms and values.
    2. Different groups develop their own [blank_start]subculture[blank_end] and what the members of the subculture regard as normal, mainstream culture may see as [blank_start]deviant[blank_end].
    • Durkheim also discusses that in [blank_start]modern[blank_end] societies there is a tendency towards [blank_start]anomie[blank_end] (normlessness). The diversity of modern societies means that the [blank_start]collective conscience[blank_end] is [blank_start]weakened[blank_end], and this results in [blank_start]higher[blank_end] levels of C&D.

  3. 3The positive functions of crime:
    • For [blank_start]Durkheim[blank_end], crime also fulfills two important functions; [blank_start]boundary maintenance[blank_end] and adaptation.
    • Boundary Maintenance- In Durkheim's view, the purpose of [blank_start]punishment[blank_end] is to reaffirm society's [blank_start]shared rules[blank_end] and reinforces [blank_start]social solidarity[blank_end], this is done through the rituals of the [blank_start]courtroom[blank_end] which dramatises the wrongdoing and [blank_start]stigmatises[blank_end] the offender.
    This reaffirms the [blank_start]values[blank_end] of the law-abiding majority and discourages others from [blank_start]rule breaking[blank_end].
    • Adaptation- For individuals that want [blank_start]change[blank_end], there must be some scope for them to challenge and [blank_start]change existing norms[blank_end] and values which is [blank_start]deviance[blank_end].
    However, in the long run their values may give rise to a new [blank_start]culture[blank_end] and morality. If those with new ideas are [blank_start]suppressed[blank_end], society will [blank_start]stagnate[blank_end] and be unable to make necessary [blank_start]adaptive changes[blank_end].
    Thus for Durkheim, neither a very high nor a [blank_start]very low[blank_end] level of crime is desirable.

    Other functions of crime:
    • [blank_start]Cohen[blank_end] identifies another function of deviance; a warning that an [blank_start]institution[blank_end] is not [blank_start]functioning[blank_end] properly. Functionalists such as Erikson build on Durkheim's point and argue that if crime and deviance perform positive social functions, then perhaps it means society is actually organised so as to [blank_start]promote[blank_end] deviance
