A youth with little to no chance of achieving greatness in life might resorts to some forms of deviance, such as joining a street gang. The youth might think that if they follow the rules according to the cultural norms, they will not be successful and so they break the rules. Breaking the rules might not be a cultural norm so they might join a gang where breaking rules is the cultural norm. A crooked cop is a deviance from culture norms. A cop might not make enough money to make ends meet so they might start doing illegal activities to either make more arrest or steal evidence. Being an alcoholic is a deviance from the cultural norm. Normal people know when to stop drinking, but an alcoholic keeps drinking until it creates a ruckus. After a alcoholic is known to start ruckuses they are seen in a different light in that culture, usually causing the drinker to drink even more. It’s a vicious cycle. Buying DVDs is a deviance from cultural norms, most people just download them. Blockbuster is going out of business because its easier and cheaper to watch movies online.
If there where no cops in Florida I don’t think it would be complete anarchy but I do think it would be a little sketchy in the beginning. Criminals would probably take advantage of the situation and commit crimes but soon average people would take the law into their own hands. If someone is breaking into your house you don’t need the police, you just need a big ass gun and just take care of the situation. People will protect themselves. The average Joe greatly outnumbers any gang or army.
White-collar crime does not include violence and rarely brings the police with guns. White-collar criminals use their powerful offices to illegally enrich themselves. Corporate crimes are crimes committed by whole companies, not just individuals.
