The purpose of this paper is to attempt a role do emotional factor play in Durkheim's theory of crime. This paper would briefly highlighted Durkheim’s view that crime is a ‘Normal’ part of any human society, before going on to discuss the role of the emotional factors in his theory. In addition to fear, anger, and other basic human emotions, the feeling of belonging on social solidarity would also be interpreted as an ‘Emotional Factor’ for the purposes of this paper. The first part was Durkheim’s theory of crime and Merton’s view on anomie, here Durkheim defined crime or view it as normal rather than pathological phenomenon. The second part was role of emotional factor in society and also social solidarity which Durkheim used to demonstrate the role of emotional factor in society and these two social solidarity, Mechanical and Organic Solidarity. In conclusion part, it could be argued that Durkheim believe that a normal crime is a crime that was not excessive and the role emotional factor play in a society is to generate and maintain a society, also the division of labour in society of the forms of solidarity. According to Durkheim in his emotion, that which holds a society together, the glue of solidarity is emotion.
