Exiting a Vicious Circle of Crime

Abstract

This paper focuses on the different levels on which different forms of deviance are exhibited and get to be normalized from the social point of view of the society and its social actors (Fenwick, 2001). Further, the paper elucidates the need to apply social entropy theory and trust on the authority to curb the expansion off such “abnormities.” This project digs deep into the failure to sanction criminal activities due to non-collaboration between the society members and the authority leading to the spread of the belief by everybody that crime always pays off, hence the vicious circle of crime (Fenwick, 2001). The aim is propose better potential ways of abandoning it as well as creating conditions for well-structured society. Similarly, the project is an expansion of the research perspectives of deviant cultural patterns and social structures which stem from criminal activities. In so doing, the project will culminate on the importance of directing power to the political elites and the nongovernmental social actors towards realizing this potential reside. Also, the project analyses the responsibilities that must be taken by the authorities for cases of criminal activities in a well-ordered society.

Keywords: crime, social entropy theory, vicious circle, deviance, well-ordered society
