The term Chicago is often used to refer to the sociology department at the University of Chicago which is one of the oldest and one of the most prestigious. The video uploaded by Mark Cambridge talks about the Chicago School and its role in classical criminology. According to Cambridge, he stated that: The Chicago school is an ecological approach to understanding crime, ecology basically means the relationship between different species and the larger society (Cambridge). The ecological approach is an ecological systems theory developed by Urie Bronfenbrenner who believed that a person's development is influenced by everything in the surrounding environment. The Chicago school includes the broken window theory which focuses on the importance of disorder in generating and sustaining more serious crimes. The broken window theory is not directly linked to serious crimes, however the disorder leads to increased fear and withdrawal from residents. According to Wayne G. Lutters and Mark S. Ackerman, the Chicago School embraced many of the concerns of American sociology such as urban decay, crime, race relations, and the family, while adopting a more formal and systematic approach to collecting and 'analysis of the data that had In Germany there has been a tendency to produce a “science” of sociology (Lutters and Ackerman). The Chicago School was a sharp reaction against the state of American sociology of that time period and was shaped by the unique interests of its leading researchers. According to the Geographic Society of Chicago states that: Influenced by the natural sciences, particularly evolutionary biology, members of the Chicago School conveyed an ecological approach to sociology emphasizing the interaction between human behavior, social structures, and the built environment (Chicago).
