Sociology Unit 4 - Crime - 19th June 2012 - Notes - Disscussion and more

argh, finding it so hard to revise everything. I've got an English lit exam the next day! I just hope realism/gender and suicide comes up, oo and social policy or action theories would be a good one.
How are people revising? I've just finished crime and deviance section, theories and methods here i come.

that is bloody brilliant! hahahaaa

There is so much so I've just made a list of what hasn't come up recently and I'm focusing on that making notes and mindmaps etc.

I have English too so i'm finding it hard to devise my time, but i'm fairly confident with english, just not with this! :L

are you on AQA?

Same, Chaucer, Shakespeare and Webster?

Same ive got english too, urghh lucky, still got 8 more topics til ive done c&d. Notes then condensing them work's for me.

And then im going to try and write a mini plan for every single topic, then i canfocus on eng

u use the subculture theory to critisice merton and then the labelling theory to critisice functionalists view that deviance creates social control, lemert(labelling theorist) says that it is social control that leads to deviance. and yes you would also bring in marxisms and Feminism. i wish this question would come up but it just recently has it was a lovely question.

Chaucer, Shakespeare and Marlow

Ooh i'm studying the same texts as you for eng.

Oh okay, how you finding Chaucer?

It's ok i guess, are you doing The Pardoner's Tale as well? I find it slightly annoying when trying to remember the language but i was reassured that if i get the writing similar it is acceptable

really? Which exam board/texts are you studying? I'm doing Othello, Pardoner and Duchess. Yeah i mean its so frustrating because you want to do well in both, but there's simply not enough time.

Can someone please explain this to me as I'm not getting it:

"Durkheim ignores conflict about mortality within a society, equally important, Durkheim, while accepting the relative nature of cime, also seems to think that some acts semm constant, in terms of being defined as criminal, in all societies. That is, he recognises a minimum content of "natural-laws..."

Wtf is this book on about... seriously...
It's to do with criticisms of functionalist views in explaining what they think of Crime and Deviance.

What page number is it?
