Understanding Formal and Informal Sanctions in Criminology

This section examines the various types of sanctions used in the criminal justice system to address criminal behaviour and deviance.

Definition: Formal sanctions are penalties imposed by courts or police, laid down by criminal law.

Types of formal sanctions include:

  2. Police sanctions: Cautions, conditional cautions, and penalty notices

Example: Examples of criminal acts subject to formal sanctions include speeding, graffiti, and using a phone while driving.

Definition: Informal sanctions are forms of interpersonal disapproval or social pressure.

Example: Examples of deviant behaviour that may face informal sanctions include owning 50 cats, talking to trees, shouting in a library, or queue jumping.

The document emphasizes the importance of understanding the differences between criminal behaviour and deviance, as well as the various sanctions applied in the criminal justice system. This knowledge is crucial for students studying crime and deviance criminology and preparing for assessments on the differences between criminal behaviour and deviance unit 2.

Comparing Criminal Behaviour and Deviance

This section delves into the distinctions between criminal behaviour and deviance, providing crucial insights for students of criminology.

Definition: Deviance refers to behaviour that goes against societal norms, which can be unusual in three ways: positively unusual, eccentric and bizarre, or disapproved and negative.

Highlight: Crime is a form of deviant behaviour involving serious, harmful acts considered wrong by society.

The legal definition of crime is explored, emphasizing two key elements:

  1. Actus reus guiltyactguilty act: The physical act of committing a crime
  2. Mens rea guiltymindguilty mind: The intention behind the criminal act

Example: Summary offences, such as speeding, are less serious and handled in magistrates' courts, while indictable offences are more serious and tried in Crown courts.

The document also discusses the importance of values and norms in society:

Definition: Values are general principles guiding how we should live our lives, determining right and wrong.

Definition: Norms are specific rules or standards of behaviour expected in particular situations.

Vocabulary: Social control refers to how society tries to ensure its members behave as expected, using formal and informal sanctions.

Example: The police code of ethics includes principles such as accountability, integrity, openness, fairness, leadership, respect, honesty, objectivity, and selflessness.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀
