What is Durkheim about?
Émile Durkheim, a key figure in functionalism, argued that crime is a natural part of society that reinforces social cohesion and serves important functions. He introduced concepts such as mechanical and organic solidarity to explain how social cohesion is maintained, and highlighted the role of anomie in leading to deviant behavior. Durkheim emphasized the importance of law in preserving social order and warned that excessive individualism could disrupt social stability.
