VIDEO SUMMARY
This tutorial video explores Marxist theories of crime and deviance, with a focus on criminogenic capitalism. The concept suggests that capitalism, through its promotion of false needs and denial of opportunities, is responsible for the majority of crime in society. Capitalism's advertising of desirable but unaffordable products leads individuals to turn to criminal means to obtain them. Different social classes employ varying means to acquire goods and services, with the working class resorting to violent crimes and theft, while the ruling class engages in corporate and white-collar crimes. Competition within capitalism fuels increased criminal activity, and the lack of adequate provisions for basic needs contributes to crime rates. However, the theory falls short in explaining why individuals target local areas rather than financial institutions and why most low-income individuals conform. While criminogenic capitalism offers a rationale for crime, a deeper understanding of both structural factors and individual agency is necessary to comprehend criminality fully.
