Ferret (2014) examines political and violent socialization, and its connections to and influences upon individual, peer and discourse conditions while also exploring how individual predispositions acquired from family, social class or peer group in an ideological background, constitute, or not, prerequisites for young men to turn to nationalist street fighting.
Questions to Consider:
- What is anomie? How might the youth radical nationalist experience anomic situations and participate in violence?
- Does this article examine chaos from a micro or macro level? What role does Bourdieu’s concept of urban exclusion and social conditions play in explaining this deviance?
Carter and Carter (2007) examine why some NFL players participate in deviant, sometimes law breaking, behavior, while some do not, through the lens of anomie. Findings suggest anomie is the strongest predictor of deviant and/or criminal behavior among the sample studied.
