Sociologists that are in support of Durkheime:
Davis-Claims the crime prostition is functional as it acts as a saety valve for men's sexual frustration and maintains the traditional nuclear family.
Cohen-Claims that crime is functional as it acts as a warning device that an instition is not functioning properloy and requires improvement.Eg-Truancy in education.
Erikson- Society is organised to promote and not eliminate crime,this is evident as agents of social control maintain crime and do not attempt to eradicate it all. Eg-Speeding is tolerated occassionally.
