| Summary: | It is widely believed that anomic conditions increase crime rates but empirical tests have produced mixed results. This may be partly due to a failure by researchers to take account of local socio-cultural conditions. This article aims to contribute to knowledge in this area by providing an in-depth qualitative analysis of the relationship between anomie and crime in a single jurisdiction, namely Ireland, which represents an interesting case study because of its comparatively low crime rates, communitarian social structure, moderate levels of punitiveness, and recent experiences of socio-economic upheaval. The implications of this analysis for anomie research are also examined. |
