akr804#so345 at the beginning of the semester we talked about how deviance is associated with certain things, like night time. As I read Ch 7, Rios pointed out how the hours between 3-6 pm were the most dangerous hours because this is when youth crime, violence, and victimization occurs. This demonstrates how deviance is not just linked to behaviors, but linked to times of day where deviant behaviors are most acceptable. For these boys, its after school and before parents return home from work.
@akr804 I think this was a really good thing for Rios to point out. He also mentioned in Chapter 7, how J.T. was in youth programs after school to avoid being alone during those dangerous hours. I don't think that deviance being associated with night time is entirely a misconception, but it would be beneficial to make the 3-6pm frame more commonly known. Then maybe more kids would be encouraged to attend the after school programs and avoid crime. #so345
