Émile Durkheim and the Collective Consciousness of Society: A Study in Criminology

Émile Durkheim and the Collective Consciousness of Society: A Study in Criminology (Key Issues in Modern Sociology) by Kenneth Smith
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1783082275, 1783082283 | 276 pages | PDF | 2,6 MB

This volume sets out to explore the use of Émile Durkheim’s concept of the ‘collective consciousness of society’, and represents the first ever book-length treatment of this underexplored topic. Operating from both a criminological and sociological perspective, Kenneth Smith argues that Durkheim’s original concept must be sensitively revised and suitably updated for its real relevance to come to the fore. Major adjustments to Durkheim’s concept of the collective consciousness include Smith’s compelling arguments that the model does not apply to everyone equally, and that Durkheim’s concept does not in any way rely on what might be called the disciplinary functions of society.
