Sociology Strengths And Weaknesses

Introduction:

Throughout this article review the main points which will be discussed are what I’ve learnt, and comments on the weaknesses and strengths of this article. The strengths and weaknesses will be referring to the research and findings which have been provided by Nina Vaswani, but also I will be providing my own arguments about this criminological writing.

Main findings of the article:

Firstly, one of the main points which I found was the aim of this study which was to provide evidence and research on young men within a prison setting. It was also exploring the bereavement experiences to see if it links to the mental health problems they have and if this can be the main cause of why young men cause crimes. Another main point which

Consent was also obtained from each participant which was involved in the study. Another strength was the extensive methodology and background research relating to the topic.

Another strength while reading the article I notice the layout was basic and easy to understand but with adequate detail. Another strength was the method which was used as I believe surveys and interviews were the easiest way to obtain the information they

This makes them more vulnerable to negative behaviour such as; crime (Vaswani, 2014). Whereas the problem which I have found within the methodology is lack of evidence to provide further results (Vaswani, 2014). As I do believe these results be could unreliable and false due to some participants knowing the nature of the study, and knowing there where special treatments. As these factors could contribute an impact on the answers which were given, and due to lack of evidence from another study, we wouldn’t know if the results are true, as there is nothing to compare them too. As all we have are what other people suggest, which doesn’t provide us with helpful information to be able to understand crime. My opinion of this study is I do believe bereavement is one factor which contributes to young men offending, but I also feel that if there were many other studies which provided strong evidence in relation to this study then I would strongly agree and many others would agree with this
