According to Townsend (1979) individuals or families can be said to be in poverty when they lack the resources to obtain the type of diet, participation in the activities that are at least widely encouraged in society. This is termed relative poverty. Absolute poverty occurs when a person’s life falls below a fixed standard, experiences complete destitution and can not meet minimum needs of food and shelter (Townsend, 1979). Gender difference is a significant factor that has caused social exclusion and it could be argued that this exclusion is socially constructed. Firstly although much has improved there still is discrimination and inequalities in the labour market.
The disorganization is created from poor families whom remain single raising children which affect positive abilities to ward off potential hazards related to illegal business operations. This type of action affects communities by organized crime employing most of the population and creating a currency surplus through illegitimate activities occurring in communities or
-This article employs stereotyping by racism. In the city of Ottawa the Somalian community is viewed negatively because of the large numbers that live in public housing projects, where crime takes place no matter where or by who. In the southside of Ottawa any poor neighbourhoods are called crip areas jus because there are a small amount of individuals who claim this gang. PART 1: Literacy night in Lowertown Hosting a literacy night might seem absurd at other schools in other neighbourhoods; many parents in affluent places, such as the Glebe or Rockcliffe, would be insulted if a principal lectured them on the importance of reading to their children. York Street is a different school in a very different neighbourhood.
It is useful for highlighting why, in the working class, those who cannot achieve in education, they then therefore suffer from status frustration and in this process turn to other people who also cannot achieve in this institution. Thus, explaining why deviance subcultures exist. This theory of status frustration is said to focus too much on utilitarian crime which is committed for material gain, but what it does not say much about is the explanation for why people commit non-utilitarian crimes like vandalism and assault. Cohen realised this and backed up this explanation by talking about alternative status hierarchy. When working class boys find that they cannot perform well in mainstream education, they look at the values of not only the education system, but the values in modern society and turn them upside down, by valuing the opposite.
Material depravation is the lack of money and resources in the home. Sociologists who are ‘material depravation sociologists’ believe that the main cause of underachievement is lack of money and resources due to poverty. Overcrowding can lead to children not being able to study/ do homework, there may also be disturbed sleep, also, in a crowded household, children have a higher risk of accident. Families living in temporary housing will also be worse off as it means the child may have disrupted education. Howard (2001) noted that young people from poorer homes have lower intakes of energy, vitamins, and minerals.
An increased level of concern about public safety and crime rates may be brought about by increased incidences of shoplifting in particular areas. Lastly and most influential to our social framework is the strain and added family problems that result from the shoplifting arrest of a child, as well as the loss of youthful innocence and damage to their future. (Youth Service Council Of Orange, 2004) So why do so many juveniles shoplift? The easy answer is simply so that they can get something for nothing. However the real cause of shoplifting goes beyond this.
I feel that’s an inequality, because when people do not want to look after there area or things start going down hill instead of helping prevent it the problems get worse and people move away. The police and other authorities are helping to prevent it which is good but the people in the community need to see what’s happening and help. All these things add up and make a lot of little inequalities along City Road. In conclusion. I would say there are a number of inequalities that shape City Road, How it works and how the people work.
Social Disorganization is a criminology theory that is present in many communities in the United States. The main reason for social disorganization is the poverty in these communities. Where there is poverty there will always be someone trying to take advantage weather it is a politician or a local gang in the community one thing is clear at some point they will assist the other one. Many people might think that none of them will have anything in common with one another but when people are thirsty for power and money they will do the unthinkable. What is Social Disorganization?
Some times families do not have the best circumstances in living, such as being in rough areas, not having stable jobs, and struggling to afford food and other needs. Another reason kids join gangs, is because they see the “cash flow” that comes along with selling the drugs and holding up gas stations and other stores.
