Study guide and discussion questions for week 3. Be prepared to discuss the discussion questions at our next class meeting (or on the discussion board for the online class).

31. "The Saints and the Roughnecks" by WILLIAM J. CHAMBLISS

Study guide/discussion questions:

Who were the Saints and who were the Roughnecks?

How did Chambliss characterize these two groups?

How does this article illustrate labeling theory?

What eventually happened to the Saints and the Roughnecks?

Do you think that Chambliss is correct in his assessment that what matters is not the person being labeled, but the people doing the labeling when it comes to understanding delinquency?
