CRJ322 - CRIMINAL MIND DISCUSSION 2

HELLO TO CO-STUDENT

I agree with your points but internalization is also a culturally initialization and identification of who they are. Further in order to act as expected these principles are set as norms and conclusively round and evolve the self. Therefore, these acts of norms are structuralized guidelines to be continued as inherency trademarks. Also, it serves as a complement to self-control and the restrictions that society expects from them in their portrayal of self and identity.

I agree with the social reaction theory and how deviance is viewed by an individual, group or an entire populace but the effective states reflects that the act of ostracizing is not always a step to control but may revolve and evolve in a corrosive situation. Further, gossip is not effective due to outsiders seeing an avenue to profit on a person’s suffering, or misery and conclusively gives a chance for an avenue to begin a criminal pattern and secret it below the wells of civilization.

Social control is as you state depends on the individual but I feel that a supposed deviant act may not be truly defined if others have an ulterior motive for declaring an act deviant against social norms. Further when lies become norms … Is that a deviant act or when society robs a person of a right is that a deviant act? or an ulterior motive for someone to profit from it?
According to the study of Lombroso biological theory, deviance has a conclusive affect on behavior that is maniac and criminal and therefore it is already instilled without nurture, socialization or internalizing. The very ability to interact with normalcy is severely hampered by violent expressions and criminal deviant behavior.

Instincts may be a social construct but it is also a part of inherited behavior and adaption to change and therefore it is a complement to evolving and alteration and learned experience. Lastly, these conditions are hard to treat with total guarantee to allow a gainful, successful life with contributions to society.

Thank you.

HELLO TO CO-STUDENT

I agree that internalization is a part of us as a race and a culture that have reflective norms to continue a structuralized society and allows socialization to be instilled and embedded. Because of this civilization and society is balanced with afforded concessions and adherence to traditions with the acts of correct conduct always primary value when it comes to social interaction it allows polite interactions and peaceful exchanges whether in individual meetings or in a group session. Ideologies are always the epitome of civilization and not violent exchanges of clear recidivity.

I agree that the possibility that deviance may be due to a biological fault and may border on criminal. I also agree that inherency is a possible factor and that it is deliberately nurtured and encouraged but with the point it can possibly be addressed but there is no guarantee of successful alteration of deviance when outside factors converged and change a situational procedure and outlook.

Thank you.

"Becoming Deviant"

Based on Chapter 3 of the textbook, compare and contrast the following social controls:
internalization of group norms and social reaction. Next, justify which social control you believe is more compelling or if you believe both social controls are equally compelling in regards to the sanctioning of behaviors associated with individuals in a social group. Justify your response.


In relation to the following social controls: internalization of group norms and social reaction both are geared toward controlling behavior and activating a code of how interactive ability is controlled and the reactive ability of a negative or positive stimuli in effecting wanted behavior. Further internalization is a process of how an act of deviance or non-deviance is associatively embedded and incorporated to functionally use newly acquired behavioral patterns as an individual, as a group and as a way of defining the self.

The levels of internalization are various and are associated with phases from introductory or initiation to medium to finalization of acceptance of group cohesion and full embracing of group norms. In contrast, social reaction is the effective reaction to a deviant act that is viewed as abnormal and because it does not have acceptance it is hereby used as a social control and inhibitor to deter unwanted behavior. In consequence, social reaction allows the process of labeling and depiction of deviance either outside the norm, or as a possible spur to change behavior or as a circumvention of behavior or an act that may lead to criminality.

Both internalization of group norms and social reaction are both very powerful in affecting behavior change either for the good or bad. As with changers of behavior care is always needed to not change behavior that more or less defy the structures of correct society conducted by sanctioning acts that are illegal, criminal or in effect regress progressive society backward either by a group or as an entire populace.

Chapter 4 of the textbook identifies major theories that focus on discovering the underlying causes of deviance. Review the underlying cause of biology and inherited behavior then determine whether either of these underlying causes can be treated and corrected to allow an individual to align his or her thinking with the majority. Provide support for your response.

The underlying cause or cause of deviance is attributed to possible biological traits as mimicry of watched, scrutinized and taught behavior. Also, the effect of labeling is also a mechanism that contributes to deviance and works as a parallel to prevent a breaking of the deviance pattern and relates to low or high self control in regard to psychological need.

Biological theory based on Lombroso’s Principle more or less states that perceived and witnessed conduct deviates from standard acceptable norms because of their atavistic appearance and inherently internalized socialization that defies neutrality and social norms because of a biological fault. Therefore, the acts of deviance is not a fidelity but argued by Enrico Ferri the acts of deviance results in criminal acts due to a biological fault, what was the use of rehabilitating or deterrence?

If a crime is “natural” then the acts of deviance are second nature and therefore they are internalized which may be due to a biological fault, inherency or inherited behavior socialized early which case inability to correct behavior instilled at a young age. Because of this this would probably hinder treatment or correct and align thinking with a majority.

Lastly, Gurofalo states a “natural” definition of crime with the thought those who violate human universe laws are themselves “unnatural”. In conclusion, the acts of correction are attempts to remedy deviance whether due to inherency or a biological bent but conclusively there is no clear solution that would effectively correct or alter this behavioral pattern whether of pure aggression, rebellion, individualism or identity change.

Thank you.
