Answer:
Explanation:
The belief associated with social disorganization theory is that crimes often arise from society with destructive ecological conditions. Crime in itself is measured differently among societies. So crime rates are often linked and associated with some neighborhood because of their ecological characteristics. Weak housing, language barrier, unemployment, and other factors could affect the crime rate in certain societies depending on the law of that society.
"Labeling theory" argues that society labels those who do not fit the roles of law-abiding citizens because society sets up an acceptable behavior that is used as laid down rules for acceptable behavior. Deviance is any behavior that is good or bad depending on how it is socially constructed and considered as acceptable behaviors.
<em>Now, to the set of questions above:</em>
Do you think that society labels people from disorganized communities regardless of their involvement in crimes?
ANS:
Yes. Society views location as instrumental in influencing people's behavior. Since for instance, criminal behaviors are mostly learned behaviors, people from disorganized communities are generally considered capable of getting involved in illegal activities.
What problems could arise if society labels law-abiding citizens who belong to disorganized communities as "criminals"?
ANS:
1. Sometimes, the label given to someone could increase their tendencies for making mistakes.
2. It could impact their self-esteem.
3. It could make them start getting involved in crime.
4. It could affect their employment eligibility if they desire to seek employment out of their neighborhood.
5. It could affect how their peers see them and relate to them.
Would such citizens receive fair treatment and equal opportunities?
ANS:
NO. Since it is perceived that people of the same age group, language and other factors may share similar characteristics because they are in the same society, that would generally affect and limit opportunities and limit their fair treatment in the society.
