Early studies
In a recent historical study, Roger Lane in 1997 concluded that “the killing of one person in the modern world has been consider as mostly an irrationally impulsive crime, committed by young men, especially those who are poor and aimless young men energised by frustration and anger. The same could be said about other crimes. Because migration brings a frustration among number of young males might expect migrants to exhibit higher crime rates than the native population.
In some cases,(Gurr 1989; Monkkonen 1989).

Mabogunje develop a style model. He identify the model migration movement, namely social, economical, technological and environment are consider independency between the sending and receiving areas. He discribe migration as a circular independent progressively complex and self modifying concept.
In this paper he try to show how a theory of rural urban migration gain in real and direct by being constructive with a Berge general theory frame work. The socio- culture theories talk about the social economic factors, which leads to migration of people, others factors are power, prestige are importance for the lives of human being. Some group of people are migrated for gaining power and prestige in the society and some migrants they loose there power and prestige.
Historical cultural theory claims that the migration is caused by unequal distribution of economic and political power. Also argued that migration is the product of global
Domestic violence has attracted much attention of the sociologists in India since the decades of 1980s. Violence affects the lives of millions of women, worldwide, in all socio- economic and educational classes. It cuts across cultural and religious barriers, impending the right of women to participate fully in society. Domestic violence occurs in all cultures; people of all societies and classes.

My paper aims to discuss the three different factors of criminal behaviour, what causes it and why. My essay will examine and focus mainly on the genetic makeup of a person, the environment in which they are raised in and gender differences.
Contrary to the common belief, crime has been on the decline for the past three decades. Yet, news and media have been covering crime more than ever, resulting in the public belief that crime is at an all time high. The sharp drop in crime since the early 1990s has left experts curious to discover the reasons for the decrease in crime. As I compare the article Understanding Why Crime Fell in the 1990s: Four Factors that Explain the Decline and Six that Do Not by Steven D. Levitt and the article Evaluating Contemporary Crime Drop(s) in America, New York City, and Many Other Places by Eric P. Baumer and Kevin T. Wolff, I will briefly describe the articles, compare their agreements and disagreements, as well as discuss my personal preferences.
The media tends to cover only a small number of incidents, only after they become sensationalized. The tragedy becomes sensationalized after a prof of brutality such as video goes viral on social media. However, media doesn’t forget to report on youth of color as perpetrators of violence. Nevertheless, they don’t show that youth from ten to twenty four years old are the victims of murder by law enforcement, which is nineteen times more than non Hispanic White Americans (Silverman, p. 2). Other researches capture the deadly force of law enforcement and the lives taken by their hand.
Crime can be defined as an illegal action committed by people and that action is punishable by law. There are many reasons that drive people to commit crime. Some of them would be poverty, depression and other social and mental disorders. For this paper, I chose to write about the Greyhound Bus beheading case. There are many theories that would explain why Vincent Li (the murderer) committed the crime.
Between the mid-late 1970s and the early 1980s, Dennis Nilsen began mass murdering young men in Great Britain that had at least 15 men through strangulation (Crime Investigation, 2014). In analyzing his life, many of contributions throughout his life could have influenced his criminal behaviour when committing his crimes. Many theories such as broken home hypothesis and schema therapy theory use psychological explanations that determine how the individual resulted into committing their crimes. With schema therapy theory, not only does it discuss the justification for criminal behaviour, but suggests how to reduce the relapse of criminal acts by identifying the cause or the trigger of the individual’s criminal behaviour (Vos et al., 2016). In Dennis Nilsen’s life, there are several indications such as the abandonment of his family members, the termination of a past relationship, and the reclusiveness from society that could have resulted
Introduction In America, media overwhelmingly gives the perception that many immigrants are criminals, and focuses on immigration in a negative manner. This portrayal by the media shapes the American public’s perception of immigrants and crime. This media uses the idea of “if it bleeds, it leads,” which makes it mainly focus on negative stories in order to capture and keep an audience. This tends to portray immigrants and immigration in a negative light, even though Criminologists know from research that immigrants are less likely to commit crime than American born citizens.
As Ban Ki Moon once stated; “Migration is an expression of the human aspiration for a better future.” All migration accomplished by mankind has followed a consistent pattern of looking for a better living. In Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist, we can see this similarity. Migration is greatly influenced by geography. Human Geography is the study of the interaction between human beings and their surrounding environment.
The research was carried out to determine if victimization has any direct effect towards the behavior of the young people living in those areas. It came up with the results that any time there is victimization, the youths are expected to be more violent as a way of reacting to the victimization. The research is relevant because it involved the research on the group observed to be the most violent in the society. In relation to the study in this paper, it is important in determining the major causes of the violence among the
This essay will give a clear overview of the concept and theories of structural violence and how the idea can be used to encourage more attention on the fundamental cause of poverty and disease. It will as well look at how structural violence has an impact on illness and health. Furthermore, how clinician can lessen the effect of structural violence. The term violence conveys an image of physical or emotional assault on a person.
Critical analysis of push and pull factors of migration and with Also gendered migration Throughout human history migration has been part of human life. People have migrated between and within countries. With a compression of space and time by the process of globalization migration has escalated. The inequality and uneven economic development between and within countries has forced people from developing countries to developed countries and also from rural to urban areas. Lee (1966) introduced the concepts of push and pull factors as the determinants of migration.
The Neoclassical theory involves the macroeconomic and microeconomic aspect. Macro focusing on structural factors and microeconomic focusing on an individual choice to migrate (Weiss, 2003). The macro theory is perhaps the most well-known approach explaining the causes of migration, it came from the theoretical model explaining internal labor migration in light of economic development (Corry 1996, Harris and Todaro 1970). According to the theory assumptions: 1.
Esbensin, Peterson, Taylor and Freng (2010) implies that “ young people who have committed serious violent offenses have the highest level of impulsive and risk-seeking tendencies.” Moreover, extreme violent criminal activity being performed in front of youth increases the risk of them performing acts of extreme violence themselves. Because youth see those acts as acceptable so committng those violent activities make youths to become ruthless. Smith and Green (2007) assert that violent activities becoming ruthless and the perpetrators even more ruthless.
This essay will discuss crime as both a social problem and a sociological problem. Crime is seen as a typical function of society. Crime doesn’t happen without society. It is created and determined by the surrounding society. According to the CSO, the number of dangerous and negligent acts committed between the years of 2008 and 2012 rose from 238’000 in 2008 to 257’000 in 2012.
Some of them moved to seek for freedom of worship and some even moved because of the instability of the government. In modern days, seeking for a better life and a stable economy become the main factors that influences migration. Sociologist have long analysed migration in terms of the "push-pull" model. This model differentiates between push factors that drive people to leave home from pull factors that attract migrants to a new location.
