Crime: Crash Course Sociology #20


#Crime #Crash #Sociology

We’ve talked about deviance more broadly, but today we’re focusing on crime, specifically in the US. We’ll start with legal definitions of crime and use FBI data to get an idea of the amount and kinds of crime committed in the US. We’ll also use that date to paint a demographic picture of who gets arrested, and explain why that’s not necessarily a full look of who commits crime. We’ll also discuss society’s response to crime in the criminal justice system, and how that response has resulted in mass incarceration.

  1. A very nice over view❤❤I have loved it. I have an exam on rural sociology tomorrow morning, that's exactly why am here listening 😅

  4. My honest opinion, they live better in prison than most not in prison. they get tablets TVs meals showers a bed and they have no responsibilities. i think if they don't want so many repeat offenders they need to take all that away from them. they are being punished for a reason. if it wasn't better in prison than on the outside they prolly wouldn't keep getting in trouble. the prison makes a lot of money off these inmates.

  5. I don't understand why they didn't talk more about how to prevent crime. Sure they talked a lot about how jail and prison affects people. But they never mentioned what policies reduce crime. Even the part "Are tough on crime policies affective" didn't talk about deterrence for people who haven't committed crimes before.

  6. Still confused with numbers like 80 billion spent annually on corrections as to how that is not enough money to attempt more rehabilitation programs. If the cost on the nation could be as high as 500 billion for the aggregate burden of incarceration, this seems like there should be even more of an incentive to attempt to use more of the funding for rehabilitation programs. Sadly, some scholars will often use the "not enough funding" as an excuse for failed policies and programs or as a method of getting more funding to waste on such failed policies and programs.

  9. It's sad that this whole video wasn't able to mention structural racism or racial bias in police explicitly. Even though it alluded to it strongly.

  14. Social status like employment, criminal history, education,of the defendants makes a huge difference in the punishment

  16. Thank you! People need to watch this video and really get educated. Because schools really don't teach you things like this.

  20. So i lean generally towards the conservative side , as such i find this Video to be Fair and accurate in it's presentation .. Just saying!

  21. has there been a study on which races tend to be involved more in gangs and gang related activity? From Hells angels to skin heads to siranyo's adn ofcourse crips and bloods.. ??

  24. This is such a heavy topic to tackle in an 11 minute youtube video, this video shouldn't exist. I'm not saying that she's wrong, it's just that she didn't have enough time to give nearly as much evidence as is required for her to not sound like a doughnut. There's well too much of her own opinion here hiding behind a thin layer of deceptive assumptions. She seems to think that if you make enough assumptions, you can group them togehter and they'll become true. It's like the truanches that led to the crash of the housing market.

  26. It's strange…Criminology is one of those subjects that can't "fix" an issue and so much as provide some ways to try and "improve" the situation. And with good reason, the problems are so insurmountable because of the issues we are facing are arbitrary chaotic, that is; human nature. It's the same pattern but in different shades of colour. I made this quote up in my head a few years ago that goes like " the law is holistic in nature, but individual in application" and as it is, that's too difficult to maintain.

  30. I like this girl's logic, we all know Bruce or Caitlyn Jenner committed Manslaughter and bc he is so rich, he got away with it, accident or not he or she should be arrested

  34. This was great. A heap of info packed in to a short vid. I'd really love to see an Australian version of this with Australian stats. Cheers, (🇦🇺💙❤an aussie criminology student)
