This scholarly article, called "Traditional Marxist Perspectives on Crime", written by William Chambliss, Milton Mankoff, Frank Pearce & Lauren Snider, discusses about the Marxist approach on crime. It is discussed through many different perspectives, such as the theory of social order, the inequality between social classes, the role of media and education as "socializing agencies", the process of making the lower classes believe that they need to conform to a social order that works against their interests, and many others. Their main issues are the manipulation of basic values and morality of society, the process of law creation, the enforcement of law and the individual motivation.
