Indices of Criminal Thinking: Criminals v. Noncriminals, Males v. Females, and Anglos v. Chicanas/ChicanosDiaz, Petra Alvarez 12 1900 (has links)
Assessment research of forensic populations has largely dealt with finding differences within criminal types. Fourteen of the studies reviewed found no significant differences between types of criminals on test performance. Two of these fourteen found no differences between criminals and noncriminals . The Criminal Thinking Model developed by Yochelson and Samenow proposed a continuum of criminality with every person falling somewhere between the two poles of responsibility and irresponsibility. Perhaps one reason previous research failed to discriminate differences was because they had failed to first establish if criminals differed from noncriminals.

"Daughters of the chaos" : an exploration of courses of women’s lawbreaking actionFrizzell, Erin T. 11 1900 (has links)
I began my inquiry into women's lawbreaking from a disquiet between what I
"knew" from academic feminist accounts and what I "saw" as a worker. My
understanding of women's lawbreaking came from a distorted representation of
women lawbreakers as victims produced by academic feminist scholarship.
This distorted representation came from a feminist practice of emphasizing
women's victimhood as an explanatory framework. As a result, women have
been rendered 'victims' - a representation that relies on women's object, rather
than subject, status. Further, this distorted 'victim' representation fails to
examine the way women can, and do, negotiate 'structures' to shape their own
lives. As a result of my disquiet, I began to ask what is it about victimization
that contributes to women's lawbreaking? I adapted Dorothy Smith's method of
inquiry to develop a method which includes women's agency and yet retains
feminist insights into economic and cultural gender inequities. This method
allows one to understand agency in the context of victimization and its
entanglement with lawbreaking by understanding the dialectic nature of social
interaction. This dialectic understanding of action is important because we can
examine not only what things come into view as structural or institutional
processes, but also see more clearly the undercurrent of resistance and
survival so relevant to feminism. Further, this method looks at women's
lawbreaking differently - it captures women's agency as a counter-discourse to
existing feminist discourses of victimization. A small research study was
conducted for this thesis. Nine women were interviewed about their lives
growing up and their experiences with lawbreaking. From this data, three areas
were explored: "invalidation", "addiction" and "negotiation". The analysis of
these themes explores, and then maps out, courses of women's lawbreaking
action and how those courses are coordinated by the ruling relations. This
project aims to contribute to feminist scholarship on women's courses of
lawbreaking action by offering Smith's method of inquiry as a way to capture
both women's agency and how that is coordinated by the organizational and
social relations of ruling. / Arts, Faculty of / Sociology, Department of / Graduate

Formal and Informal Labeling Effects on Later Self-Reported Non-Violent and Violent DelinquencyMitchell, Meghan Marie January 2011 (has links)
This research examines the impact of formal and informal labeling on self-reported violent and non-violent delinquency. This longitudinal research design utilizes cohort 15 from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN) at two different points in time. This research not only evaluates the effect of formal labeling (arrest) but also determines the effect of informal labeling (warning and releasing) by police officers. Specifically, the hypotheses assess if labeling affects minority youth differently than white youth. Using nested ordinary least square re and logistic regression models, the results indicate that labeling only operates in simple models containing few variables. The apparent effects of labeling on non-violent delinquency are accounted for in the complete model by previous delinquent behavior, living in a two-parented home, and having a parent with a criminal record. Moreover, the apparent effects of labeling are diminished in the complete model predicting violent delinquency once controlling for the effects of race (Black), gender (male), lower income level, and having a parent with a criminal record.

THE EFFECT OF DEPRESSION ON ADOLESCENT DEVIANT BEHAVIOR AND THE MEDIATING EFFECT OF AUTONOMYLee, Theresa 01 January 2021 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to synthesize the relations among the adolescent need for autonomy in decision making process, depression, and tendencies for deviant or risk-taking behaviors as adolescents. Background variables such as socio-economic status, sex, race, previous academic achievement, parent warmth and support, resistance to peer pressure were controlled for. Using the NICHD database set, multiple regression analyses revealed that adolescent autonomy was not correlated with adolescent depression, and earlier depression at sixth grade was not a significant mediator of the effect of earlier deviant behaviors at sixth grade on later adolescent deviant behaviors. More importantly, however, the study did show that when SES, sex, race, previous achievement, parent warmth/support, and peer influences/relationships were controlled for, autonomy at sixth grade did indeed predict depression in later adolescence at age fifteen. Additionally, depression at age fifteen turned out to be a significant mediator of the effect of early autonomy on later deviant behaviors.

Attribution to Deviant and Nondeviant Social RolesRohlman, James E. 05 1900 (has links)
A questionnaire was used to study causal attribution to social roles as influenced by perceived deviance of the role, instructions to identify with the role, and participant gender. The perceived deviance or nondeviance of the roles was determined by a pilot study. The roles were varied randomly through 12 hypothetical events, and identification or nonidentification instructions randomly assigned. The participants were 194 male and female university students. Participants gave the cause of each event and rated the cause on five dimensions: internality, externality, stability, globality, and controllability. Causal attribution to deviant social roles was found to result in a significantly higher across-scales score and to be more internal, less external, and more global than attribution to nondeviant roles. Participant gender showed an interaction with deviance overall and on the dimensions of stability and globality due to significantly higher ratings by women participants than those by men. Identification instructions did not produce a significant effect.

Ungdomskriminalitet : En kvalitativ studie om uppfattningar bland invånare i socialt utsatta bostadsområden av krafter & omständigheter som lägger grunden till brottslig verksamhet bland invandrarungdomar / A qualitative study of the understanding among residents of vulnerable neighborhoods of those factors that attract migrant youth into illegal activitiesMalak, Evin, Ahmed, Nabel Faruk January 2022 (has links)
The purpose of the study is to gain a deeper understanding of the perceptions, among the inhabitants of socially vulnerable areas, of the various factors that make immigrant youth participate in criminal activities. The essay is a qualitative case study with semi-structured interviews, each respondent hailing from a particular vulnerable area of Sweden. The data was processed in a thematic analysis which was then divided into different themes. The study begins with an introduction informing the reader of what to expect ahead as well as background information on vulnerable areas, criminal activity, and newcomers. The collected data has been analyzed theoretically with the help of Hirschi's social bond theory, Becker's labeling theory and Merton's strain theory. The results show that young immigrants choose to participate in illegal activities due to various factors. According to the respondents, the factors can be anything from housing situation, living conditions, financial resources and others that empower them to commit crimes. The norms and values that immigrant youth have are unlike established social norms and for this reason they are regarded as deviants and feel excluded from the majority society. Immigrant young people experience strain from an early age as they attempt to establish themselves and enjoy a similar level and standing as other Swedes.

Deviant Self-Concept Among Marijuana Dealers : Examining the Applicability of Labeling ConceptsMadaris, Cynthia 01 January 1976 (has links)
The subject of this thesis is dope dealing in marijuana. However, the main interest in this topic is not centered on unique behavior patterns of persons engaged in this illegal activity nor is it much concerned with the activity itself. Rather, this study was designed to investigate empirically claims of labeling theorists and deviance theory. Through focused interviews with dealers of marijuana, an inquiry was made into deviant self-concepts on the part of those persons. More specifically, attention centered around the variables of type of dealer (lid or small quantity pound); length of time in dealing business; and contact with formal sanctioning agencies as possible conditioning or influencing factors in self- concept formation. The research was intended to examine, in a field situation, concepts that have to this point received more theoretical explication and discussion then empirical scrutiny.
