Criminology Theory of Edwin Sutherland
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing Sutherland's
Differential Association theory and the criminologist's theory of white collar crime. Edwin
Sutherland emerged in the late 1930s as a leader in criminology theory, and he remains so
today. Sutherland maintained that criminal behavior was learned, and that individuals were
responsible for their own actions. He did allow that there were circumstances when such was
not the case, but that they were exceptions rather than the rule. His theories fell out of
mainstream favor in the 1960s, but they have since resurfaced as being valid today.

Culture Is A System Of Meaningful Symbols: Analysis
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Spradley's understanding of and subsequent definition for the concept of culture crosses all boundaries whereby people of a given community share their collective existence. The extent to which the presence of mores, norms and customs comprise the fundamental components of cultural construct is both grand and far-reaching; that Spradley (1979) has termed culture as a system of meaningful symbols speaks to a communal system of association that is "learned, revised, maintained, and defined in the context of people interacting" (Spradley, 1979). Applying this understanding to the two articles and one book illustrates just how vital cultural connection is to individuals and entire societies alike. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
