Personally, I think the concept is nonsense..
Sociological Perspective : One can think of sociological perspective as our own personal choice and how the society plays a role in shaping our individual lives
So if you rob a bank, or you are anti-social, you can figure it was caused by how society played a role in shaping your life.
Hmmm. What I suggest is that you might consider why so many black kids have criminal records by 17 (as compared to whites), why women see a glass ceiling, why a Mexican driver in South Arizona is nervous when driving the highway with a group of latino men. Why do they do it? Use the sociological perspepective I gave you.
Caution on it however, you will have to do some generalizing, and thinking pretty vaguely, which some say is shoddy thinking.
Good luck.
