Crime: Crash Course Sociology #20

1. I don't understand why they didn't talk more about how to prevent crime. Sure they talked a lot about how jail and prison affects people. But they never mentioned what policies reduce crime. Even the part "Are tough on crime policies affective" didn't talk about deterrence for people who haven't committed crimes before.

2. Still confused with numbers like 80 billion spent annually on corrections as to how that is not enough money to attempt more rehabilitation programs. If the cost on the nation could be as high as 500 billion for the aggregate burden of incarceration, this seems like there should be even more of an incentive to attempt to use more of the funding for rehabilitation programs. Sadly, some scholars will often use the "not enough funding" as an excuse for failed policies and programs or as a method of getting more funding to waste on such failed policies and programs.

3. "prostitution is a victimless crime" 🥸

4. Nicole Sweeney is actually my hero.

5. It's sad that this whole video wasn't able to mention structural racism or racial bias in police explicitly. Even though it alluded to it strongly.

12. Thank you! People need to watch this video and really get educated. Because schools really don't teach you things like this.

13. Very informative video as usual. Thank you!

14. "Despite making up 13%…" oh noooo

15. The data dont include

16. So i lean generally towards the conservative side , as such i find this Video to be Fair and accurate in it's presentation .. Just saying!

17. has there been a study on which races tend to be involved more in gangs and gang related activity? From Hells angels to skin heads to siranyo's adn ofcourse crips and bloods.. ??

18. "The data don't include.."

    Isn't it "the data doesn't.."?

19. 13% but also half

20. This is such a heavy topic to tackle in an 11 minute youtube video, this video shouldn't exist. I'm not saying that she's wrong, it's just that she didn't have enough time to give nearly as much evidence as is required for her to not sound like a doughnut. There's well too much of her own opinion here hiding behind a thin layer of deceptive assumptions. She seems to think that if you make enough assumptions, you can group them togehter and they'll become true. It's like the truanches that led to the crash of the housing market.

21. da data dont include

22. It's strange…Criminology is one of those subjects that can't "fix" an issue and so much as provide some ways to try and "improve" the situation. And with good reason, the problems are so insurmountable because of the issues we are facing are arbitrary chaotic, that is; human nature. It's the same pattern but in different shades of colour. I made this quote up in my head a few years ago that goes like " the law is holistic in nature, but individual in application" and as it is, that's too difficult to maintain.

23. PLEASE STArt a crash course criminology lolll

24. Thank you

25. lol

26. I like this girl's logic, we all know Bruce or Caitlyn Jenner committed Manslaughter and bc he is so rich, he got away with it, accident or not he or she should be arrested

27. crime are laws created by the rich, and only 15% are laws fought by the people

31. Lol would love for them to factor in IQ for arrest rates…

32. Crash Course be having having thing bruh damn

33. Just came here after Epstein case

34. Crime is caused by the two primary reasons: (1) poor socioeconomic opportunities and (2) poverty. These are the mother and father of crime.

35. Do the crime you do the time.

36. Expanding upon a prior post, I've come across this in my own life.

    In the early 2010's, I was arrested for marijuana…twice. The counterculture group (to use prior video vocab) that I was rolling with were all of a different socioeconomic class and I never felt I really fit in aside from cannabis use.

    Both arrests were thrown out of court and I received no penalty. In fact, I'll never forget what the DA said. "Says here you're from [Affluent White Town]. A lot of good eggs from that town. You look like a good egg. I'll make this disappear". Once we left, my attorney said "Don't forget, this is a job for us. He knew how much we cost and he saw you in a three-piece suit and figured it wasn't worth it". Thanks to the charges dismissed, I was able to get my finance degree 100% paid for with federal grants (which you lose for life if convicted of drugs).

    Conversely, another member of that deviant group was poor and black and got the book thrown at him. 6 months in prison, $1,500 fine, eviction from his home, car repossessed. Had to drop out of school because he lost all his grants for life.

    Interesting how we were both part of the same deviant group yet had very different outcomes.

37. Women and crime, is not typically male behaviour criminalised more?

38. I commited crime because I got abused 3 times by 3 different men I wanted to punish myself cause I believe that I let the abuse happen 😹

39. Brainwashing children by being selectively and purposefully exclusive of important statistics.

40. lol mike hunt
