Crime, Murder, and Deviance within society

Social control- Japan's society conformed its citizens into single-minded, work-obsessed citizens.

Conflict Perspective – Intensely competitive education system starts as a child

Self-image – kids lose their personal worth when they have failed, regarded as valueless by adults.

Role – Unemployment increase drastically, people who endured to find a role within society might not find one at all.

Communication – Japanese children cannot communicate their true feelings.

Honour Murderers: Justification of “The hopelessness I feel at these ‘honour’ murders“

Sexual Prejudice- The ideology of women has been taken to the extreme through honour killings

Norms- In the Middle Eastern culture, it is acceptable to abuse one’s partner by both sexual and physical means unlike in the western culture

Social Control- The honour killings are examples of men trying to tell women their role

Analysis: Vigilante likelihood

Males are definitely more likely to break social norms, even to enforce social norms with violent methods.

Females are more indecisive and check off ”depends”, mainly answering that it depends on the crime

Conclusion

Males are more likely to break social norms than females because they feel the need to solve their own problems, usually by force
