Social class and deviance among young adults in Türkiye
Existing criminological and sociological research in the Western world typically presents a negative relationship between social class and deviance, such that individuals with a lower social class position are more likely to engage in crime and deviance. Despite receiving less academic attention, however, research concerning Turkiye generally suggests a positive relationship between social class and deviance, which presents an “anomaly” and warra…
Islam and Deviance in Türkiye
The goal of the present study is to explore the link between Islam and deviance using a sample of 1,596 young adults from a public university in Türkiye by employing multivariate statistical analyses. The core independent variables are importance of Islam and political identity (Islamic, nationalist, social democrat/Ataturkist, apolitic, and other). The dependent variables are life-time deviance (an index), cheating on exams, skipping school, cig…
Religiosity and Deviance Among College Students in Türkiye
Although an inverse relationship between religion and deviance is empirically well-established in the western context, previous studies on Islam and deviance conducted in non-western countries are limited. To address this gap in deviance research, we hypothesized that individual religiosity would be inversely related to deviance with the inverse relationship being more likely for ascetic than anti-ascetic or secular deviance. To test this hypothe…
The Status of Criminological Theories in Turkey
The aim of this study is to evaluate the status of criminological theories in Turkey and to present some recommendations to follow in the future. Unfortunately, some sub-disciplines in social sciences in Turkey have been relatively less developed. This is especially valid for criminology or sociological studies of crime. More relavant to this paper, there have been a limited number of tests of western-originated criminological theories in Turkey.…
Violence among the Youth in Turkey
Most tests of criminological theories have been carried out in the western world, especially the United States. Agnew developed a General Strain Theory and claimed that it could account for deviance/crime in the developing countries. However, the support for the theory was generally mixed at best. The goal of this study is to examine the major theses of general strain theory in relation to youth violence in Nigde, a small city in central part of …
Does Islam deter crime in a secular Islamic country? The case of Turkey
‘Does Islam deter crime in a secular country like Turkey’ is the research question for which the current study tries to find a tentative answer. The data came from 619 undergraduate university students, 352 academic and non-academic staff at a public university and 498 shop owners in a small city in a Central Anatolian region in Turkey in 2010. The research on the relationship between Islam and crime is almost absent in the criminology literature…
