Question

20 points Do you agree or disagree with Durkheim that crime has benefits for society? Why?

Answer 1

Explanation:

How are crime and deviance related? ... I somewhat agree with Emily Durkheim's argument that deviance is beneficial to society because deviance can help reinforce the norms of the society by reminding people that certain behavior is unacceptable by showing, on media platforms, people punished for their acts of deviance.The classical social theorist Emile Durkheim proposed the counterintuitive thesis that crime is beneficial for society because it provokes punishment, which enhances social solidarity.it is beneficial because Emile Durkheim's theory that crime is a normal aspect of society is based on his belief that crime itself serves a social function. That social function is to support or reassure the social norms of a society by the fact that crime is considered going against the norm.Crime is normal because a society without crime would be impossible. Behaviors considered unacceptable have increased, as society progresses not decreases. If a society is operating as its normal healthy self the rate of deviance should change very little. ... Moral authority begins to breakdown and deviance rates change.
