    Hirschi's social bonding theory suggests that early generations of immigrants like the Windrush generation had low crime rates due to religious influence, but later generations without religion committed more crimes. White collar crime is often the most hidden type of crime. Police use selective policing to catch some crimes like drug dealing in action. Other factors that can influence criminal behavior include labeling, self-fulfilling prophecies, social inequality, status frustration, drifting into crime due to rough situations, committing crimes for thrill-seeking, and Marx's view that not all crimes are caught equally. Multicultural societies and poorer quality of life may also impact crime rates.

    Control theory Hirschi/social bonding theory- wind rush generation low crime rates (religion)- but
    then generations passed down have no religion therefore commit crimes

    Hidden figures of crime, white collar crime is the most hidden

    Catch- police can catch drug dealers in action for example: Selective Policing

    Labelling

    Self-fulfilling prophecy

    Anti-social or deviant behaviour

    Social inequality

    Status frustration

    ‘drift’ into crime, not many people go out to commit crimes to prove themselves or play the system,
    but when people are in a rough situation it may happen naturally like stealing

    People may commit crimes for the thrill and excitement or the buzz of it (knife crimes)

    Rehabilitation

    Prisons- risk taking activities

    Marx’s view that crime is everywhere its only that some is caught, and some isn’t

    Causes of crime with not much inequality:

    Multicultural societies may mean more crime? Due to discrimination and racist systems

    Better Quality of life
