When people lose the cultural and social norms as a consequence of urbanization, they have a greater possibility of turning to crime.  French sociologist Emile Durkheim is most closely associated with this theory.

Those who were on the downside of capitalism would be more likely to turn to crime, and those on the upside would more and more insist that their wealth be protected from this underclass. ]]> 2018-09-06 20:09:43 UTC https://padlet.com/steven_jones2/75lcawsa3kl8/wish/278638239 11) Who were the authors of Social Conflict Theory? What did they theorize? steven_jones2 https://padlet.com/steven_jones2/75lcawsa3kl8/wish/278638529  People commit crime because capitalism creates winners and losers, and that the whole society, and its laws, are rigged in favor of the winners to keep the losers down.
