Crime and Deviance - Marxist Approach. Functionalism and the Family: A Summary. Functionalism was the dominant branch of western Sociology until the 1960s since when it has been increasingly criticised by sociologists favouring different sociological perspectives.
Functionalists argue that societies consist of inter-related social institutions such as schools, mass media, political systems, the Church and the family each of which contribute positively to the maintenance of stability of society as a whole. That is: these institutions are said to be functional for societies as a whole.. Broadly speaking it is assumed by functionalists that societies operate in the interests of all of their members so that there is no reason for fundamental conflict in society.

Met chief admits institutional racism claims have 'some justification' Britain’s most senior police officer has said there is some justification to allegations that the Metropolitan police is institutionally racist, despite efforts to improve relations with ethnic minority communities following the Stephen Lawrence scandal.
Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, the Met commissioner, said his force had to take such accusations “on the chin”. During an interview to be aired in the first episode of a BBC documentary series on Scotland Yard, Hogan-Howe said: “If other people think we are institutionally racist, then we are. It’s no good me saying we’re not and saying you must believe me. [That would be] a nonsense, if they believe that.”
Scotland Yard has been dogged for years by claims of institutional racism, triggered by the damning 1999 Macpherson report into the Lawrence killing and the police response. Since assuming control of the Met in September 2011, Hogan-Howe has pledged repeatedly to reform the force and restore public trust in officers. What is Feminism Really All About? By Nicki Lisa Cole What feminism is is a hotly contested debate in the twenty-first century.
Often, efforts to define feminism are hatched in response to critiques or dismissals of it as angry, irrational, and man-hating. The term itself is so widely contested and derided that many people adamantly state that they are "not feminists," despite espousing what many consider to be feminist values and views.

Equality. Studying feminism from a sociological perspective brings all of this to light. Conflict Theory. By Ashley Crossman Updated February 17, 2016.
Conflict theory states that tensions and conflicts arise when resources, status, and power are unevenly distributed between groups in society, and that these conflicts become the engine for social change. In this context, power can be understood as control of material resources and accumulated wealth, control of politics and the institutions that make up society, and one's social status relative to others (determined not just by class but by race, gender, sexuality, culture, and religion, among other things).

Midwives magazine: Issue 2 :: 2012 Children have a greater chance of suffering from autism if either parent is older than 35 at the time of conception, claim researchers. The risk is up to 27% higher than for those with younger parents, according to their results. The study looked at 1.3million children born in Denmark over a period of more than 20 years. It was conducted by researchers from Denmark, working with Cambridge University, and the results imply the risk posed by the mother’s and father’s age is about the same. Previously, it was widely thought that the age of the mother has a greater impact than the age of the father.
