Assess the usefulness of functionalist approaches in explaining crime The functionalist approach to analysing deviance and the causes of crime looks at society as a whole. It explains crime that the source of criminal behaviour lies in the nature of society itself rather than in psychology or biology.

Criminal Law Foundations Evaluation If laws were not in place, individuals could not hold onto their individual properties. Social life would be impossible without laws to help control the way people behave, think and treat each other while in public and private locations. Criminal laws were designed to reflect the accepted behavior in a community, such as morals and the criminal act itself, or Mens Rea and Actus Reus. Thus when people break the law and are caught, the accused are provided certain constitutional rights. Criminal law consists of bodies of regulations and rules that will specify and define the punishments for the wrong committed against society or the state.

This goes against diverse society, the dominant groups exercise power by codifying their value systems into criminal laws stating that moral attitudes are not absolute. However, since society had different segments its prone to have different value systems (Schmallager, 2009). In accordance to the conflict model, these different segments which are separated by social class, income, age, and race are engaged in a constant struggle with each other for control of society, since the goal depends on the individual for their own benefit and gain of power, which is more prone to lead to
My Deviant Subculture Perspective By Alexander Eisemann The prospective thought of a criminal behavior has engrained itself into the court of public opinion. When convicted of a deviant crime within the American culture, the judicial system interprets the crime according to its bureaucratic roles as a formal organization. The inertia that surrounds our judicial department encourages them to get the job done as swiftly as possible. The outcome of the conviction process mostly benifets the bureaucratic role that the judicial branch serves in government, and alienating what is best for the individual, as long as the conviction is proven guilty or not guilty by our cultures standards-(Hofstadter, Richard Sociology in American thought). The ritualism of how we convict criminals usually does not help them in the long run; taking away their legitimate means for obtaining a job.
