Social+Groups+and+Social+Control

We will be looking at two chapters in this unit. The first, Chapter 6, deals with groups within society. It is a discussion on how we seek the group in order to negotiate our lives within the greater society. The second is really quite interesting especially for any of you that enjoy watching CSI, Law and Order, and Criminal Minds. That chapter, Chapter 8, focuses on crime and social control. I am certain that you will learn a lot about how people end up in gangs or groups, and how those groups may end up motivating that person to do things that they might not have ever done, i.e. robbery, assault, or even murder.
