Question

Based on the information in the video, how would being from a middle-class family change the outcome for a young person's primary deviance? explain how the information in the video supports your point.

Answer 1

According to the information in the video, coming from a middle-class (white) family significantly changes the outcome of a young person's primary deviance. The likelihood of a young person committing a crime is significantly reduced by being surrounded by a community of: conventional workers, adolescents and children in good schools, etc. The video also shows that the probability of a young person committing a crime is significantly reduced by being surrounded by a community of: conventional workers, adolescents and children in good schools.

This is very different from the situation experienced by a (black) young person living in a poor neighbourhood, surrounded by violence, where gangs are rampant on every street corner and the police force is relentless.

Answer 2

Referring to crime and community video.

If you're born in a middle class family, your likelihood to commit a crime is decreased dramatically since you're surrounded by conventional working people in your neighborhood.
This situation is different compared to poor neighborhood where most gangs and other illegal organization operate.
