1) Most crime is committed by people between the ages of 14-24, likely due to factors like peer pressure and lack of parental supervision. 2) Males commit around 90% of certain crimes like burglary and robbery, possibly because of different socialization and opportunities to commit crimes. 3) Ethnic minority groups, especially Afro-Caribbean people, make up a disproportionate percentage of the prison population, possibly because of actual higher crime rates or systemic racism in the criminal justice system.

Luciana Quispe SOC 101 Outline Part 2 Hypothesis: Less educated people who live below the poverty level are more likely to commit crimes that people who are more educated and live above the poverty line. II. Criminology. a. Anomie Theory According to Merton’s formulation “anomie becomes the explanation for high rates of deviant behavior in the U.S. compared with other societies, across groups defined by class, race, ethnicity, and the like” (Robert Merton, Anomie Theory). Education is at best decisive in its norms about the appropriate means of being successful. Crime and deviance are thus seen as normal adaptive responses to the kind of structural organization that a society adopts. Education and poverty are two factors that increase the likelihood of crime for a person because a lack of education and money can create a barrier towards achieving a socially accepted goal, such as the “American Dream”. III. Practical Implications. a. Implications for public policy i. Education ii. Social change b. Implications for employers i. Better pool of applicants c. Implications for society i. Reduced crime ii. Increased social equality IV. Evidence. a. Bonczar (2003) found “[the] relationship is clearest when looking at dropout status and incarceration: although they constitute less than 20% of the overall population, dropouts make up over 50% of the state prison inmate population” (as cited in Levin, Belfield, Muennig and Rouse, 2007, p. 13). i. The evidence is statistics of the prison population in that a lack of education can be the reason towards explaining high crime rates among those that are uneducated. ii. A possible bias is that there could be an underlying factor beyond education that contributes to these statistics. iii. An alternative explanation of these statistics is that dropouts are more likely to occur in bad sections of town which may contribute more to the amount of crime these individuals commit. b. According to Valdez, Kaplan and Curtis (2007), “Lastly, we also found that exposure to certain specific structural conditions of concentrated poverty seems to be more salient than race in explaining the violence and substance abuse nexus” (p. 600-602). i. The evidence is a study that shows poverty can also explain crime rates in individuals that are living in poverty conditions. ii. A possible bias is that there could be other underlying factors for this result beyond poverty. iii. An alternative explanation of these statistics is that poverty is more likely to exist in bad sections of town which may contribute more to the amount of crime that local individuals commit. 5. Conclusion: The evidence found does prove that there does seem to be a correlation between poverty and lack of education with committing crime, and that in order to reduce crime rates these issu ...
