[Company name] CMY3701 Assignment 1 Semester 2 2024 (575656) - DUE 12 August 2024 QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE ANSWERS CMY3701 Assignment 1 Semester 2 2024 (575656) - DUE 12 August 2024 SECTION A 1.1. Give a detailed discussion of Shaw and McKay’s (1942) social disorganisation theory against the background of scientific literature and the newspaper article above. (15) Shaw and McKay's Social Disorganization Theory, developed in 1942, posits that crime is largely a result of the breakdown of community institutions and social relationships in certain neighborhoods , leading to social disorganization. The theory emerged from their study of urban areas in Chicago, where they observed that certain neighborhoods had consistently high crime rates despite changes in their population demographics over time. Core Components of Social Disorganization Theory: 1. Ecological Perspective : Shaw and McKay utilized an ecological approach, viewing the city as a series of concentric zones radiating from the center. They observed that crime rates were higher in the inner -city zones and de creased outwardly. 2. Concentric Zone Model : o Central Business District (Zone I) : High levels of social and economic activity, low residential stability. o Transitional Zone (Zone II) : Characterized by deteriorating housing, poverty, and high population turnover , this zone had the highest crime rates. o Working -Class Zone (Zone III) : More stable than Zone II but still susceptible to social disorganization.The benefits of buying summaries with Stuvia:
