Reading Discussion: Chapter 5

Q Now that you have become an expert on one dimension of the variations of deviance, we will start to compare and synthesize this academic research in order to draw some more sophisticated and interested conclusions! Go back and review all of the postings on the Article Summaries: Chapter 5. You should be able to gain a pretty solid understanding of each of the articles by reading over the multiple summaries and analyses. Please create a post that answers the following questions: From all of these readings, what example or piece of evidence provides the most compelling piece of evidence that the organization of a neighborhood or place is a strong predictor for deviance? Why? How do these examples help you understand the core ideas of this chapter? How do they connect? What can we learn about our deviance, and how our society shapes deviance from these texts? Please provide at least two substantial comments on your classmates' responses that seek to deepen the analysis or provide some other kind of connection. Try looking for answers that challenge what you thought before or make you think of something new! Your initial post and comments have the same due date.

The articles show that the black neighborhoods are segregated, and the people are deprived of the basic requirements that lead to corruption in these societies. Geographical location and racial discrimination lead to violent crimes.
