Social Disorganization Overview
Social disorganization refers to the breakdown of social structures within a community, leading to an inability to maintain social order. This concept, prominent in criminology, suggests that when key social institutions like family, education, and local government fail, crime rates increase. Factors such as poverty, high mobility, and weakened social bonds contribute to disorganization. The theory underscores the importance of community cohesion and effective social institutions in preventing criminal behavior, highlighting the impact of societal breakdown on the prevalence of crime within a given area.
