¶ … Crime's Ramifications Clearly
Essentially, conflict criminology is the theory that crime is virtually inevitable in a capitalist society. Because there needs to be have-nots in order for there to be those considered as haves, the have nots will inevitably commit crime to make up for their disenfranchisement, hunger, lack of clothing, etc. This theory contributes to crime in today's society because it is largely a capitalist one, with wide disparities between those that have and those who have not. Relative deprivation and a stratified society contribute to crime and delinquency in certain ways. Relative deprivation is feeling that one has lesser than others in a relevant viewpoint. Therefore, people would commit crimes to have the sorts of things that others have. A stratified society reinforces this sort of deprivation, because it pronounces differences between the wealthy and the poor. The Marxist perspective of crime causation and conflict criminology reinforce the concepts of relative deprivation and a stratified society because they believe that such a difference in classes of people is an inherent component of crime.

It could provide value by having victims of crime actually be required to learn--firsthand -- the effects of that crime on their victims. For instance, someone who breaks into a car to steal a stereo could be punished not only with conventional punitive measures, but also hearing about how much money the victim had to spend to repair the car, to buy another stereo, etc. These descriptions could allow the criminal to see he is more like the victim.
WEEK 4 DISCUSSION
Homicides are usually stratified according to degree; the most common is first degree and second degree homicides. First degree homicides are situations in which a person premeditates the killing of another, and deliberately kills that person (Danzo, 2013). A good example of this scenario is a disgruntled employee who is fired from his job, and then returns the next day to kill the employer who fired him. Second degree murder requires an intent to kill that was not premeditated. The employee in the…

Similarly, Green (2000) cites the reclassification of rape as a crime against the person as a good example of changing social views about acceptable behaviors and the consequences of unacceptable behaviors that involve violence. According to Green: For example, the fact that rape is now generally classified as a crime against the person rather than as a morals offense (as was once common) is indicative of the evolution in society's

Indeed, if there is only one type of beautiful person, it contributes to increased insecurity in women who happen to be a different shape or size from the "ideal" women perpetuated in the popular culture. According to Dank, Norton, Olds and Olive (1996), there has a lengthy association between dolls and ideal proportions, a relationship going back to Greek times. For example, pre-18th century dolls were manufactured so as to
