In what ways can crime be considered to be the product of social structures and social arrangements?

In what ways can crime be considered to be the product of social structures and social arrangements?

Order Description

This question is the broadest in terms of theoretical coverage and allows you to consider crime causation from a combination of Strain, Learning, Subcultural, Labelling, Marxist and Conflict approaches
You may like to focus on one theoretical tradition or use a combination to explore the role of social and institutional arrangements

You may like to consider:
Institutions such as schools or the CJS
Social arrangements such as class, gender or race
The role of culture and subculture

A clear focus on criminal causation and social construction should be maintained
You are still required to consider alternatives, remember be critical in your thinking
