Repressive Law Penal law.

Was created by Durkheim in the Division of Labour in Society


Law that was created to punish bad/outlawed behavior. It was meant to create a punitive response or a sense of vengence from Society Criminal. The reason why we want public vengence is because social morality has been damaged or infringed. If it offends the overall state of the people, it shall be punished.

Restitutive law- Laws that are restortive. as mentioned in Durkheim s Division of Labour in
Society Law that was meant to restore the dama!es done by the crime. Supposedly used for or!anic societies. Law of compensation. The type of law we have ri!ht now, where if Person " does harm to Person #, Person " can claim dama!es upon Person # with the court bac$in! Person " up. !asically damages can be restored with " or some other compensation. #rganic societies Crime as Self help Created by %onald #lac$. &is analysis is that traditional 'odern society is not due to mechanical v or!anic but rather the chan!e of enforce of laws becomin! individuals to the !overnment power. (epressive law is e)istant in the current society because the use of private *ustice + where crimes in the past would have been considered as a ,self help- to brin! to *ustice .If someone has done somethin! wron! to you, it is up to the /ICTI' to ta$e care of the problem, and not the !overnment0s.1 2ow the reason crime e)ists in society is to create a some sort of !overnmetal social control. #y creatin! a function of the crime, it creates some sort of different crimes and moralistc ideals. #lac$0s thesis on crime is that crime is mostly moralistic however they are crimes because they offend what the state would find offensive. "nd the definition of crime becomes a form of !overnemental social control.

Ex ante function of law- Created by John M Darely ; Princeton ! Claims that law has
some $ind of set boundaries or sets morals in a society. Since law is determined by social morality$ everyone should have a %ist of what the law is about. It assumes that law is what creates social morality since Durkheim said that its the criminals being punished by law that unifies and creates what a social norm is. &owever this is disproved because certain states in the same society &'S( has different laws re!ardin! stand your !round, duty to assist, and etc. )eople tend to argue what their morality is$ should be law. 3r!o it is )ersonal morality turns into what law is. &owever since it is an or!anic society, there will be different ideas of what a law should be. *ts a counter to Durkheims way of law. Sicilian 'afia Created by %ie!o 4ambetta. People have a preconceived notion of what the mafia is and view it in a ne!ative viewpoint .5r!ani6ed crime rin!1. &owever 4ambetta claims that the difference between police and mafia isnt much. The reason why the mafia is claimed as a bad !uy is because there is a direct competition of power between the mafia and the police. hen loo$ed at comparively , The police and mafia both use violence 7 coercion to prevent 7 solve the problem. The service they both offer are protection and dispute mana!ement. #ut the only main difference between the police and the mafia is the difference in the source of power. The police has the power of the state .Law1 to bac$ up its actions. The mafia has .protection contracts1 or payments from the ones theya re protectin!. The main idea about the Sicilian mafia is that the sicilian mafia is a locali6ed much informal way of information e)chan!e, advertisin!, $inship, friendship and an identity. They are respected within the community as the one who $eeps the community in chec$. 8irst ideals is the variation of the community self help + second is the idea of supply and demand .if there is a supply of violance there needs to be a stron! amount of man power that are trained to deal with the violence. .Property owners try to loo$ for ways to protect their assets.

#ase9 Superstructure model Created by :. 'ar). The 4erman Ideolo!y. The 'ar)ian approach enforces this idea of unfairness within reality throu!h his e)planation on class division in a society. 'ar) claims that capitalism or the economic forces is the basis or the base of all socialistic functions. ith the basis of society bein! an economic driven force, he further e)plains that everythin! else stems off the base becomin! a super9base, which can be social hierarchy as well as creation of the law. 3r!o, the 'ar)ian approach to society is that the division of labor, creation of law and the natural bias is a detrimental one towards the poor. Carnival 'irror Thesis 9 (eiman as$s us why the law is so bias and why do the !eneral populous see criminal law in a ne!ative viewpoint. (eiman compares the distorted viewpoint of the !eneral populous as a carnival mirror or a distorted mirror. hen a person loo$s throu!h a carnival mirror, they see a distorted version of themselves loo$in! bac$ at them. (eiman claims li$ewise, society sees criminal law throu!h a distorted lens, where certain misconceptions are put into play. (eiman0s theory can be listed throu!h three $ey9points .(eiman ;1. 8irst $ey point is the way the crimes in criminal law is portrayed and installed upon us. This is to create a certain type of crisis in our minds or some $ind of ur!ency and shoc$ value to crime in <uestion .(eiman ;1. In e)ample, it is much more drastic to describe a crime in e)cruciatin! detail, where as for civil law it is simplified or !iven a synopsis on le)isne)is or the media. This installs a frame of mind, or a way that the population loo$s at the crime, where the criminal law is seen as more of a threat to society. Second $ey point is the point that criminal offenses are not as detrimental nor violent as the civil offenses .(eiman ;1. (eiman states that our vision of what criminal law is, is seen as much severe than civil law. In e)ample if the outcome of a crime is murder, there is as much as deaths from occupational ha6ard and disease as much as people bein! murdered. "nd the last $ey point is that police are more li$ely to scour and police around the lower income nei!hborhoods and ones with more minorities, and even if both rich and the poor are cau!ht, the poor would have more severe conse<uences compared to the rich .(eiman ;1. 5ne e)ample would be the variance of cocaine. In the rich areas, they would use finer and more pure product called powdered cocaine, whereas in low impoverished areas, they would use crude and cheaper product called crac$ cocaine. The law institutes itself to punish the ones who abuse crac$ cocaine harsher than the ones who abuse powdered cocaine. Pyrrhic %efeat theory 9 (eiman calls ,Pyrrhic defeat- .(eiman =>1. The typical term is ,Pyrrhic victory,- where a victory is achieved but in a cost of much resources and manpower ma$in! it a unfavorable victory. (eiman claims that this creation of the carnival mirror is a cyclical of power where there is no chan!e in the status <uo even if there were power and opposition to this due to the ne!ative preco!nition of what a criminal law is. &owever in this defeat, there is someone who is a benefactor, where the benefactor is the dominant class. The stru!!le is real, where if the minority class were to oppose and challen!e the status <uo, they will be faced with preco!nition of what a criminal law is, but if they don?t the status <uo will continue. /a!rancy Law illiam Chambliss @ Claimed that the law is deployed by the dominant class onto the minority class. here the Ast version of the va!rancy law in ABCD to ABEA was a way of chan!es of law due to the economic conditions .#lac$ death + deteriorin! standard of livin!1. Into what focuses on the idle or the ones who are refusin! to labor. hich meant that who didnt wor$ was forced to wor$ at a fi)ed wa!es after the blac$ death. Cheap labor for the ones who created the law .the rich1. %urin! the A=th century, with the end of feudalism, increased trade and industry, the definition of va!rant chan!ed to ,who can !ive no rec$onin! how he lawfully !ets his livin!- or ones who ,uses subtle crafty and unlawful !ames and plays-. This was focused on the control of the ones transportin! !oods since !oods at that point was considered valuables. 2ow in the status <uo, va!rancy laws in FS7F: are laws that concered the ones with criminal bac$!round or undesirables. They were meant to !et rid of the ones

who are unwanted even in the streets. The shifts and chan!es of the law of va!rancy show some $ind of pattern reflectin! what the rich .the ones who ma$e the power1 to control the economic values .The law is created by an economic base G#ase to Super9baseH1. Penal elfarism Created durin! the pre9AD;I0s. 'entioned by 4arland, #ec$ett and estern the idea that the penal system should focus not on a punishment but rather a rehabilitive internations. It was the opposite of imprisonment. The ones who supported penal welfarism were liberal elites, the educated middle class and the public sector professions .political and economic reasons1. 3conomically the middle class had the most benefit, as it helped them with welfare state politics .national insurance, Social security, national health care, mort!a!e subsidies and such1. Inclusive73)clusive policy re!ime of crime control mentioned by 4arland, #ec$ett and estern Claimed that social and penal policy are the !overnments response to social mar!inality where they are not mutually inclusive. Inclusive re!ime is the idea that the social policy should have more !enerous welfare pro!rams and crime policy should have less punitive anti crime policies. 3)clusive re!ime claims that there should be L3SS !enerous welfare pro!ram .Socially1 and there should be more punitive anti criminal policies .deviants are considered unreformable and undeservin!1 States with less !eneral welfare had hi!her incarceration rates and vice versa. #ureaucracy Created by eber.
