Shaw and McKay’s Social Disorganization Theory: Detailed
Discussion
Introduction to Shaw and McKay’s Social Disorganization
Theory:
Shaw and McKay's Social Disorganization Theory, introduced
in 1942, is a fundamental concept in criminology and sociology.
It proposes that crime rates are influenced by the breakdown of
social structures and institutions within communities. Their
theory emerged from empirical research conducted in Chicago
and focuses on the relationship between community
characteristics and crime rates.
Core Concepts of Social Disorganization Theory:
1. Community Structure: Shaw and McKay argued that
crime rates are not evenly distributed across all areas but
are higher in certain neighborhoods. They identified that
these high-crime areas often have high levels of poverty,
residential mobility, and ethnic diversity.
