Today formally organized, involved drugs, money, violence
More likely to involve youth
Nonviolent personal and property crime – burglary,
theft, breaking/entering, prostitution, drug use
Types of Crimes
Elite and white collar crime
Usually committed in context of professional job
Embezzlement, illegal stock trading, tax evasion,
accounting fraud, etc.

less public concern

Normalization of deviance – accepted by corp, may be
standard practice
Enron, WorldCom

Syndicates, cartels, etc.
Racial, ethnic, or family basis for membership
Operate much like legitimate businesses

goods and services
May be important actors in local or national
economies
Crime Rates
Difficult to measure over time because of:
Changes in how crimes are defined
Variations in individual reporting
Variations in agencies’ reporting
Even murder is hard to compare over time: (improvements in
medical technology so more violent crime victims survive)
Sources of data include FBI Uniform Crime Reports and
victimization surveys

Crime Reduction & Criminal Justice
Deterrence theory - based on assumption that crime results
from a rational calculation of costs and benefits.
stiffer penalties, increased prison terms, and stricter parole
increase costs of crime
Rationally, this should reduce crime
8 You May Ask Yourself
Copyright © 2008 W.W. Norton & Company, Inc.
Crime Reduction & Criminal Justice
unintended consequence of deterrence theory:
recidivism.
a person who has been in the criminal justice system reverts back
to criminal behavior (e.g. repeat offending).
Increased parole supervision – more technical violations found
Prison experience does not fully rehabilitate
Social stigma on convicted criminals makes it hard to find job
Living with other criminals teaches techniques and justification
for crime (socialization)
