Assignment:

When watching Taxi Driver (1976), it can be easy-and often appropriate-to apply psychosocial theories and to focus on Travis Bickle's deteriorating mental state as the cause of his actions, including his planned assassination of Senator Palantine and his murders of Sport and two other men at the brothel. What can be more difficult is to apply social disorganization theory and to focus on how the city itself is a cause of crime and deviance in the film.

For this discussion, describe one specific way in which social disorganization is illustrated in Taxi Driver. You could highlight a scene in which there is evidence of low socioeconomic status, ethnic heterogeneity, or residential instability. You could identify a scene that demonstrates lack of informal social control or cultural transmission. The key is to focus on what you see in the city and how the city impacts crime and deviance.

Please provide a detailed response. Be sure to include evidence demonstrating understanding how dimensions of social disorganization cause or produce crime and deviance.
