Criminology in the World: Social Control Theories

For the "Criminology in the World" discussion forum, find something to examine for evidence of 'criminological concepts' and 'principles' at work in the community. You need to find something in the real world that is connected to Module 8 (Social Control Theories): this could be a local event, your own and others' behavior, or some sort of social 'artifact' (e.g. movies, TV shows, books, songs, newspaper articles, blogs, current events.). If possible, try to use a Canadian example.

For your post, (a) describe the thing you have chosen in enough detail so that the rest of us understand it, and then (b) make clear connections to Module 8. In an effort to showcase to me and your classmates what you have learned, spend more time expanding on the various connections to the chapter/module.

Post your thoughts on the above issues.

Respond to the below posting.

For Module 8, I will be focusing on an article I read on a program called Tuk Power, a fitness program in Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories, that is run by the RCMP and aims to give youth in the community a healthy space and activity while also strengthening the bond between the community and RCMP.

This relates to Module 8 by suggesting that prior to programs such as this, a major contributor to the reason behind youth crime was that they didn't have something to ground them in their community. Durkheim suggested that egoistic suicide results from a situation when a person is not strongly connected to social ties. They lack moral guidance and may turn to deviance. Tuk Power, and programs like it, combat this by creating a direct relationship from youth to the RCMP, while helping them spend their time with other youth in a community that fosters healthy pastimes. It has seemed to help the issue at hand; since this program was started, there has been a lower rate of youth crime, which members of the RCMP credit to programs such as this.
