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 Disorganisation Theory #### Ove rview Shaw and McKay's social disorganisation theory, developed in 1942, is a foundational framework in criminology that examines the relationship between neighborhood ecological characteristics and crime rates. The theory emerged from the Chicago School o f Sociology and focuses on the structural conditions of neighborhoods that lead to social disorganization and subsequently higher crime rates. #### Key Components 1. **Neighborhood Characteristics**: Shaw and McKay identified that certain neighborhoods in urban areas exhibit high crime rates, particularly those characterized by poverty, high residential mobility, and racial/ethnic heterogeneity. 2. **Social Disorganization**: This refers to the breakdown of social institutions such as family, school, and c ommunity organizations in a neighborhood. When these institutions are weakened, they are less effective in socializing individuals and maintaining social control.The benefits of buying summaries with Stuvia:
