Application: Sociological Theories of Delinquency
Sociological theories of delinquency attempt to explain juvenile delinquency from a macro perspective. That is, these theories explain juvenile delinquency based on the social and cultural contexts in which juveniles live, go to school, and play. This week, you explore the major sociological theories of delinquency as you consider how cultural norms and morals, labels, socioeconomic status, and other sociological factors contribute to the phenomenon of juvenile delinquency. You may notice that some theories have much in common or build upon each other, while others directly oppose each other.
