SAMPLE ESSAY FORMAT FOR EXAM 1
1. Aquaman, Superman, Spiderman, and the rest of the superhero crew have recently been under attack in the news. The government is scrutinizing them, suspicious that their antics upstage the crime-fighting efforts of the regular police force.
A. The police are now ticketing and charging anyone who uses superpowers on the streets. Drawing on Quinney, IDENTIFY the six dimensions of the conflict theory of crime and APPLY the middle four to discuss how and why the dominant class (i.e., the government) likely took these actions against the superheroes and how the superheroes are likely to react. 9pts
I. The official
definition of a crime
II. Formulating
definitions of crimes
The superheroes’ successful crime-fighting behavior highlights the incompetence in fighting crime by the regular law enforcement agencies and makes them look bad. They steal all the attention and credit. Therefore, the dominant class decides that it suits their interests best to define the actions of the superheroes as deviant.
III. Applying
definitions of a crime
The government defines the actions of the superheroes as deviant and tickets them whenever they use their powers. They go about this vigilantly and with media attention. Yet at the same time they sweep governmental crime and deviance under the rug.
IV. How behavior
patterns develop in relation to definitions of crime.
The definitions imposed on the superheroes’ behavior will brand them as deviant and they will begin to develop deviant self-concepts. This increases the likelihood that they will engage in more and different kinds of deviant behavior, such as using their powers for their own benefit and not exclusively for the good of society.
V. Constructing an
ideology of crime
Even though the world suffers without the aid of the superheroes, the government defends their definition of the superheroes as deviant. But rather than admitting that they defined them as deviant to make themselves look better, they come up with some rationalization that suggests it is for the good of the people such as they are protecting them from possible future superhero abuse, dependency, or insecurity (from comparing themselves to superheroes).

violently, destructively, and to rebel against society. From the lecture on
