Radical Conflict Theory And Crime

According to “Conflict Theory and Crime and Delinquency ”Radical conflict perspective are themselves many and varied thought central to the most are issue of social class, economic condition, and the political economy as both the source and product of conflict. For instance, Chanbliss and Seidman (1982) argued that the law represents the interests of certain social groups rather than the public at large, and the groups most likely to have their interests embraced by the legal order are those within higher economy standing within society. The intellectual roots of both pluralist and radical perspective lie with Hegel, Marx, Weber, Simmel and other classical theorists concerned with various forms of social conflict.
According

to “Civil Rights Movement” by “Morris, Aldon”, “they did not enjoy many of the basic citizenship rights guaranteed by the US constitution. In the south black people were controlled by an oppressive social system known as the Jim Crow regime. Blacks were denied the franchise, barred from interacting with whites in public spaces and were trapped at the bottom of the economy order, where they were relegated to the poorest paying and least desirable jobs. A social movement is an organized collective effort by large members of people for the purpose of generating the social power required to initiate social changes.”
As Aldon has mentioned that, “African Americans did not begin to fight for the overthrow of racial inequality until the 1950s. The modern civil rights movement came of age in 1955 during the year-long Montgomery bus boycott organized by local black leaders and led by Martin Luther King, JR who would became the charismatic leader of the national civil rights movement. The black community was a victim of the racially segregated Jim Crow regime. Within short time, DR King, Ella Baker, Bayard Rustin, and others leaders of the local movements coordinate protest movements throughout the south to overthrow the inequality. The national Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) became active in the emerging movement.”
“By the 1960 modern movement involved significant numbers of young blacks, but it was an adult-driven phenomenon. This changed significantly in the spring 1960 when black’s college students began organizing sit-ins at racially segregated lunch counters. Movements are fought by those seeking change.”
