two prominent sociologists, Clifford Shaw and Henry McKay, formulated their Social Disorganization Theory based on observations of the social dynamics they observed in Chicago, Illinois from 1900 – 1933. Is this theory an anachronism, or can it be applied to at least one California city, Los Angeles, in 1992? Identify the tenets of the social disorganization theory, and write a 2-page paper examining this phenomena in LA. See pages 115 – 119 in your textbooks, edition 9.
