(expectations on behaviours) are confused, unclear or not present. It is normlessness,
Durkheim felt, that led to deviant behaviour.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.hewett.norfolk.sch.uk/curric/soc/crime/anomie.htm"><P><FONT face="Century Gothic"><BIG>Anomie thus refers to a breakdown of social norms and
it a condition where norms no longer control the activities of members in society.
Individuals cannot find their place in society without clear rules to help guide them.
Changing conditions as well as adjustment of life leads to dissatisfaction, conflict, and
deviance. He observed that social periods of disruption (economic depression, for
instance) brought about greater anomie and higher rates of crime, suicide, and deviance. </BIG></FONT></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.hewett.norfolk.sch.uk/curric/soc/crime/anomie.htm"><P><FONT face="Century Gothic"><BIG>Durkheim felt that sudden change caused a state of
