Sadly the Increasing strict gun regulations are causing more people to possess firearms illegally. Illegal gun possession pose many risks to the public and law enforcement. Social control theory applies as much education and understanding of firearms laws are needed. #soci2300

Criminology suggests that certain social characteristics are correlated to a greater involvement in criminal activity. Further investigation into the social reason for this high crime in Lab City needs to be completed to achieve change in policy & social change. #Soci2300

I agree that a feminist perspective to this “on again off again” couple may lead to a better understanding of why this occurred, as well as a more restorative justice approach to solving this issue. Will criminal charges help the deep rooted problem here? #soci2300
#SOCI2300 Brooks & Schissel (2015) suggest that women's criminality is often linked to victimization, violence in relationships, addiction issues & more. Feminist criminologist might explore if this is a violence against women issue: was the woman resisting abuse?
