The document discusses three approaches to explaining deviance: physiological, psychological, and sociological. It focuses on the physiological approach, outlining Cesare Lombroso's 19th century theory that criminal behavior results from genetic defects, which he attempted to link to skull shapes and toe size. While some later studies found links between genetics and criminality, most did not and could not conclusively demonstrate that criminal behavior is determined by innate biological factors alone. The document also briefly mentions psychological theories linking personality traits like extroversion to crime.

Biological Theory of Crime

Biological school of thought
The biological basis of personality focuses on how biology influences personality traits. Criminology is the scientific study of criminal behavior and has been studied for thousands of years. In the mid-19th century, Cesare Lombroso founded the Italian School of Criminology which argued that some individuals have an innate biological propensity for criminal behavior due to atavism or ancestral traits. Biological theories in criminology attempt to explain law-violating behaviors through examination of individual characteristics like genetics, brain structure, and physical traits. They are categorized under positivism, which asserts that behaviors are determined by largely uncontrollable external influences.
Biological theory of crime
Biological theories of crime propose that criminal behavior may be influenced by biological factors. Cesare Lombroso's theory claimed that criminals have distinct physical characteristics showing their evolutionarily primitive nature. The Y chromosome theory links criminal behavior to an extra Y chromosome. William Sheldon's somatotype theory associated criminality with a mesomorphic body type. While these theories provide biological explanations for crime, they have been criticized for ignoring free will and failing to account for social and environmental influences on criminal behavior.
Ceasar lombroso john
Cesare Lombroso was an Italian criminologist in the late 19th century who is known for bringing a scientific approach to the study of criminology. He believed that criminals could be identified by certain physical characteristics and that criminality was inherited. Lombroso conducted extensive research by examining the bodies and measurements of criminals. Though his theories are now discredited, he shifted criminology from a legalistic focus to a scientific study of criminals. Later in life, Lombroso also investigated psychic phenomena and became a believer in spiritualism.
Biological theory
This document discusses early biological theories of crime and deviance proposed by several theorists. It describes Franz Gall and Johann Spurzheim's phrenology theory that skull shape could predict criminality. It also outlines Cesare Lombroso's theories of atavism, that some are born criminals due to genetic predisposition, while others become criminaloids due to environment. Lombroso also proposed a masculinity hypothesis that over time male and female crimes would become similar. The document concludes by mentioning Charles Goring's study that disputed Lombroso's claims.
Lombrosian Theory of crime causation
Cesare Lombroso was an Italian criminologist who founded the Italian School of Positivist Criminology in the 19th century. He developed the theory of atavism, which claimed that criminals have hereditary tendencies that are transmitted genetically and that criminals can be identified by physical abnormalities. Lombroso classified criminals into three categories: hereditary criminals, insane criminals, and criminoids. While his theory of physical criminal types was widely criticized and has been disproven, Lombroso made important contributions by shifting criminology's focus to the individual criminal rather than just their crimes. His work emphasized studying criminals scientifically and treating them individually rather than just punishing their acts.
Biological Theories of Crime
Physiological theories of crime argue that criminal behavior is innate and biologically determined. Early theories included demonology which attributed crime to demonic possession, and phrenology which claimed that certain skull and facial features identified "born criminals." Later studies examined body types, with some finding convicts were more likely to be mesomorphs. Adoption studies found that adoptees with criminal biological parents were more likely to have criminal records themselves, though this was mitigated by improved social conditions. Modern biological theories examine biochemical, neurophysiological, and genetic factors but are limited as most deviant acts are committed by physically normal individuals, and biological factors do not fully explain variations in crime rates between societies.
Biological Theories of Crime
Genetic abnormalities like the XYY syndrome have been linked to criminal behavior, as studies in the 1960s found XYY males were more likely to commit violent crimes. However, the evidence is limited and twin studies on the connection between genes and crime have been inconclusive, as twins share both genetic similarities and environmental upbringings. Overall, the role of genetics in criminality remains unclear as the impact of one's environment cannot be disentangled from their innate biological predispositions.

Lombroso's theory of creativity
Cesare Lombroso was an Italian criminologist who argued that genius and insanity were linked. He claimed many great thinkers exhibited signs of mental illness or "degeneration" like eccentric behavior. Lombroso published a book in 1889 cataloging traits of past luminaries he believed indicated hereditary insanity. He argued artistic genius was a form of insanity and that signs of degeneration were more common in geniuses than the insane. Lombroso believed there was a continuum between genius and madness, with genius representing an exaggeration of traits that could develop into mental illness.
Biological Theories of Crime
While early biological theories of crime from the 19th century were flawed, they captured public attention and stimulated further research. Later studies examined psychological factors and mental illness with more nuanced approaches. Modern criminology accepts that a range of social and biological factors likely contribute to criminal behavior, rather than any single cause.
Genetics research-template
The document discusses several arguments against human cloning. It notes that cloning could diminish individuality and human freedom. Cloning experiments have high failure rates in mammals, resulting in miscarriages and health issues, putting clones and women at risk. Cloning may also reduce genetic diversity and give scientists too much power over life. Identical clones could be easily manipulated and decrease new talent from emerging.
2013 why is most crime male crime?
This document discusses theories around why most crime is committed by males. It summarizes the work of criminologists Maureen Cain, Bob Connell, and James Messerschmidt who link crime to concepts of masculinity and gender roles. Specifically, they argue that there is a dominant and idealized form of masculinity (hegemonic masculinity) that some males feel pressure to achieve through actions like paid work, subordinating women, and demonstrating an uncontrollable sex drive. For some males, especially those lacking other resources, crime and deviance may be ways to accomplish this ideal form of masculinity and prove themselves as men. The theories are criticized for being circular, overpredicting crime, and potentially overgeneralizing
Mutations
Mutations are changes in genetic code that can occur due to mistakes when DNA is copied or due to environmental factors like UV light and cigarette smoke. There are two main types of mutations: spontaneous mutations that arise from DNA replication errors, and induced mutations caused by external factors. Mutations can be gene mutations, which affect a single gene, like point mutations and frameshift mutations, or chromosomal mutations like deletions, duplications, inversions, insertions, translocations, and non-disjunction, which involve changes to whole chromosomes. Many genetic disorders are caused by chromosomal mutations, such as Down's syndrome, Klinefelter's syndrome, and Turner's syndrome. Genetic disorders can be diagnosed through fetal cell analysis

This document discusses how implicit biases may perpetuate gender imbalance in STEM fields. It provides data showing that while the fraction of women earning degrees in biology and other life sciences has risen to over 50%, women remain a small minority in physics, engineering, and computer science. It then explores several psychological mechanisms that can negatively impact women's participation and performance in male-dominated STEM fields, including stereotype threat, imposter syndrome, and the Petrie multiplier effect of implicit biases. The document advocates for supporting women in STEM through maintaining a healthy workplace and mentality.

The document discusses rape culture in the U.S. It argues that preferential treatment given to men, especially white men resembling hegemonic masculinity, leads to a sense of entitlement that is a major factor in rape culture. Media like music videos teach that objectifying women is acceptable and that women exist only to serve men. Sports culture, exemplified by hockey, promotes misogynistic views where sexual aggression towards women is routine. Religions are also androcentric, viewing women as inferior and meant to obey men, contributing to the belief that women's bodies naturally belong to men. Changing this socialization will require eliminating the gender role hierarchy and paradigm of masculinity as domination.

Deviance in sociology refers to violations of social norms. There are two main perspectives on deviance - absolutism views it as inherent to individuals, while relativism sees it as socially constructed. According to relativism, there is no universal deviance as acts are negotiated and defined differently across situations and historical contexts. For example, what constitutes murder or pornography can vary. Sociology focuses on the elements that define deviance, including social norms, expectations for compliance, perceptions of violations, and reactions to breaches of norms.
Explaining Black and Asian 'Criminality'
This document discusses six competing explanations for ethnic differences in offending rates. It outlines four main explanations: 1) Right Realism, which argues faulty socialization leads to criminal subcultures among some ethnic groups; 2) Left Realism, which attributes higher offending to structural factors like relative deprivation and marginalization; 3) Neo-Marxism, which sees crime statistics as a social construction used to criminalize minorities; 4) Neo-Marxism, which argues moral panics are constructed to deflect attention from economic issues. For each explanation, the document evaluates strengths and weaknesses and considers whether the theory indicates actual differences in offending or reasons for apparent differences.
Gender (Crime & Deviance)
This document discusses gender patterns in crime based on official statistics and sociological theories. The key points are:
- Official statistics show males are far more likely to be convicted of crimes than females. However, some argue these statistics underestimate female offending.
- There are three main questions raised: do women really commit fewer crimes; how do we explain female criminality; and why do males commit more crimes?
- Theories to explain gender differences in crime include functionalist sex role theory, patriarchal control theory, and the liberation thesis. Masculinity is also discussed as a factor in male criminality.
Explaining female crime sociologically
1. There are three key sociological explanations for differences in female criminality: functionalist sex role theory, control theory, and the changing women's role or 'liberation thesis'.
2. Functionalist sex role theory argues that women are socialized differently than men and taught to be nurturing rather than aggressive, which makes criminal behavior less likely. Control theory suggests that tighter social controls on women through patriarchal structures reduce opportunities for crime.
3. The changing women's role thesis proposes that as women take on more 'male' roles in society and experience greater liberation, female crime rates have risen as social controls have weakened. However, critics argue that most female criminals are still working class women who are least
THREE KEY EXPLANATIONS FOR GENDER PATTERNS IN CRIME
1. Four key theories are discussed to explain patterns in female crime: functionalist sex role theory, control theory, class and gender deals theory, and the changing women's role or 'liberation thesis'.
2. Functionalist sex role theory argues that differential socialization patterns result in boys being more disposed to violence and crime. Control theory suggests that patriarchal social control mechanisms reduce crime opportunities for women.
3. Class and gender deals theory proposes that working class women commit more serious crimes when rewards for conformity through class and gender deals are unavailable.
4. The liberation thesis argues that as patriarchy weakens and women take on more male roles, female crime rates have risen; however, critics argue this
social selection
Sexual selection leads to the evolution of traits that enhance mating success but do not necessarily help survival. These traits can include elaborate ornamentation that requires significant energy or reduces mobility. Darwin proposed sexual selection to explain the evolution of such extravagant but potentially detrimental traits seen in male peacocks and other species. Sexual selection operates through either intersexual selection, where female mate choice shapes male traits, or intrasexual selection, such as male-male combat over mates. Elaborate male traits may have evolved because they honestly signal genetic quality to females, since only males in good condition can afford the costs of such ornamentation.
Sex Attraction And Homosexuality
This document discusses factors that influence sexual attraction and homosexuality. It notes that sexual attraction is influenced by pheromones, histocompatibility genes between mates, youthful appearance signaling fertility, and the shape of the female form. Homosexuality exists on a continuum according to the Kinsey scale from exclusively heterosexual to exclusively homosexual. Research has explored potential biological and genetic factors influencing homosexuality such as hypothalamus size, brain morphology, gene differences, and the influence of sex differentiation in fetal development which may be impacted by maternal hormones. Twin studies also provide some evidence for genetic influences.
Female crime
This document discusses early and contemporary feminist perspectives on crime. It outlines the key perspectives of liberal, Marxist, radical, socialist, and masculinities feminism. Liberal feminism views gender differences in crime as due to socialization, while Marxist feminism sees crime as stemming from gender conflict under capitalism. Radical feminism asserts that patriarchy causes male dominance and control over women. Socialist feminism attempts to merge Marxist and radical views. Contemporary perspectives examine gendered pathways into crime and how gender, race, class and place intersect to influence criminality. Postmodern views reject positivism and focus on deconstructing traditional crime categories.
Sociology crime and gender
1) Males commit significantly more crimes than females according to official crime statistics. Males are more likely to reoffend, have longer criminal careers, and commit more serious offenses.
2) The chivalry theory proposes that the criminal justice system treats females more leniently due to protective attitudes towards women, but some studies have found no evidence of leniency in sentencing.
3) Explanations for gender differences in crime include sex role theory, which links it to traditional gender roles, and patriarchal control theory, which argues that patriarchal control over women reduces their opportunities and freedom to offend.
Gender and crime SOCIOLOGY
This document discusses theories around gender differences in crime and deviance. It notes that official crime statistics show most recorded crimes are committed by men. Various explanations for this are discussed, including biological theories, socialization/sex role theories, social control theories, and lack of opportunities. More recently, postmodern theories have looked at concepts like transgression. Theories have also examined how masculinity relates to crime, with some men feeling pressure to demonstrate aggression, control, and oppositional behavior to affirm their masculinity.
Nature nurture elt method
The document discusses the nature vs nurture debate regarding language development in humans. It provides examples of nature referring to innate qualities determined by genes, while nurture refers to personal experiences and environment. Specifically for language:
- Chomsky argued language is innate to humans, as evidenced by the advanced structures in the human brain and failure of chimps raised like humans to develop speech.
- Skinner believed language is acquired through environmental factors like conditioning, association, and reinforcement from a social environment.
- Both nature and nurture play an important role, as humans have an innate capacity for language but develop skills through interaction with others in their environment.
Nature Vs Nurture
This document outlines a psychology webquest that asks students to investigate the nature vs nurture debate. It instructs students to research two psychologists and their theories on whether behavior is influenced more by innate factors (nature) or environmental factors (nurture). Students will then prepare a presentation to share their findings with the class and participate in a discussion forum on the nature vs nurture question. The document provides resources on various psychologists, evaluation criteria, and credits its sources.
Nature V Nurture in Psychology. By Theresa Lowry-Lehnen. Lecturer of Psychology
The nature vs nurture debate in psychology concerns the extent to which behavior and psychological characteristics are influenced by genetic/biological factors (nature) vs environmental factors (nurture). The document discusses several examples of this debate, including theories that anorexia may have genetic influences but is also linked to sociocultural pressures of beauty ideals, and that while some research has found genetic links for traits like intelligence, environment also plays a role. In recent years, most recognize that nature and nurture interact in complex ways and it is difficult to separate their influences numerically.

The document discusses several studies related to the nature vs nurture debate on stress responses. One study with rats found that baby rats that were neglected and lacked nurturing from mothers did not develop epigenetic tags on stress response genes, resulting in an inability to handle stress as adults. Their offspring also lacked these tags. However, nurtured baby rats did develop the tags, allowing better stress responses, and passed this on to their offspring. Another study found that for children in poverty, genes had little impact on future success compared to environmental factors, but genes played a larger role for children in wealthier families. The document also discusses psychopathy and notes it affects about 1% of the population.

The document discusses gene-environment interactions (GxE) and how they relate to aggression. It provides several examples of studies finding GxE effects on aggression-related behaviors and neurotransmitter functioning. Specifically, it finds that childhood maltreatment leads to aggression in genetically vulnerable individuals, and that early life stress can interact with serotonin-regulating genes to increase depression risk. Accounting for GxE is important as it provides more accurate and predictive models than examining genes or environment alone. Understanding these interactions is crucial for identifying at-risk groups and developing effective interventions.
Nature vs. nurture
This document discusses the nature vs nurture debate regarding the development of traits in humans. It explains that heredity, through the transmission of genes from parents to offspring, plays a key role in determining traits like height and eye color. However, the impact of one's environment through factors like education and living conditions is also influential. Twin studies are often used to help understand the relative impact of nature vs nurture, by comparing identical twins who share all genes to fraternal twins who only share some. Questions remain about the influence of heredity and environment on traits like intelligence, personality and psychological disorders.

It aims to understand the debate, describe studies supporting each side, identify relevant approaches, and evaluate the debate. The key points covered include: behavior being determined by genetics (nature) or environment (nurture); studies supporting nature like twin and adoption studies; studies supporting nurture like Little Albert and the Stanford Prison Experiment; and that behavior is often best explained by an interaction between the two.

Italian School.pptx
The Italian School of Criminology was founded in the late 19th century by Cesare Lombroso, Enrico Ferri, and Raffaele Garofalo. Lombroso argued that criminals were born with physical abnormalities and differences that could identify them as "born criminals." Ferri and Garofalo rejected Lombroso's theory of innate criminality and emphasized social and economic factors. The strongest point of the theory was that it stimulated discussion about studying criminals. However, its main weakness was that Lombroso provided no reliable evidence or explanation to prove criminality was inherited based on physical characteristics.
SUBJECT – CRIMINOLOGY part 2.pdf
Cesare Lombroso is considered the father of criminology because he was the first to make crime and criminals a specific area of study. He developed the now outdated theory that criminality is determined by physiological traits. Lombroso, Enrico Ferri, and Raffael Garofalo are known as the "Holy Three of Criminology" due to their contributions in advancing positivist ideas about criminology. Lombroso applied modern scientific methods to studying criminal behavior, making him the father of modern empirical criminology. However, his ideas rejecting the classical theory of crime associated with Cesare Beccaria differ from Beccaria's view that criminals commit crimes through rational calculation.

Society: The Basics, Eleventh Edition, by John J. Macionis. Published by Prentice Hall. Copyright © 2011 by Pearson Education, Inc.
This chapter explores issues involving crime and criminals, asking
not only how our criminal justice system handles offenders but also
why societies develop standards of right and wrong in the first place.
As you will see, the law is simply one part of a complex system of
social control: Society teaches us all to conform, at least most of the
time, to countless rules. We begin our investigation by defining sev-
eral basic concepts.
What Is Deviance?
Deviance is the recognized violation of cultural norms. Norms guide
virtually all human activities, so the concept of deviance is quite broad.
One category of deviance is crime, the violation of a society’s formally
enacted criminal law. Even criminal deviance spans a wide range, from
minor traffic violations to prostitution, sexual assault, and murder.
Most familiar examples of nonconformity are negative instances
of rule breaking, such as stealing from a campus bookstore, assault-
ing a fellow student, or driving while intoxicated. But we also define
especially righteous people—students who speak up too much in
class or people who are overly enthusiastic about the latest electronic
gadgets—as deviant, even if we give them a measure of respect. What
all deviant actions or attitudes, whether negative or positive, have in
common is some element of difference that causes us to think of
another person as an “outsider” (H. S. Becker, 1966).
Not all deviance involves action or even choice. The very
existence of some categories of people can be troublesome to others.
To the young, elderly people may seem hopelessly “out of touch,”and to
some whites, the mere presence of people of color may cause dis-
comfort. Able-bodied people often view people with disabilities as an
out-group, just as rich people may shun the poor for falling short of
their high-class standards.
Social Control
All of us are subject to social control, attempts by society to regulate
people’s thoughts and behavior. Often this process is informal, as when
parents praise or scold their children or when friends make fun of a
classmate’s choice of music. Cases of serious deviance, however, may
bring action by the criminal justice system, the organizations—police,
courts, and prison officials—that respond to alleged violations of the
law.
How a society defines deviance, who is branded as deviant, and
what people decide to do about deviance all .

Body Type of Theory / William Sheldon's Theory / Biological Theory / Criminology
Body Type of Theory / William Sheldon's Theory / Biological Theory / CriminologyAsif Mohammad ALFAYED
William Sheldon developed a theory that classified people into three body types (somatotypes): endomorphs, mesomorphs, and ectomorphs. He associated certain personality traits with each type. Endomorphs were said to be relaxed and outgoing but lazy. Mesomorphs were competitive and aggressive but lacked sensitivity. Ectomorphs were intelligent but anxious. Sheldon later used this to explain criminal behavior, finding mesomorphs more likely to commit crimes due to their personality traits of being aggressive and seeking dominance. However, his research methods were criticized for not being statistically valid and mistaking correlation for causation.A New Frontier of Criminal Justice System
Today we know that the propensity to crime and violence is not only the effect of morphological, psychological and social factors, as believed Lombroso, Garofalo and Ferri, influential members of the Positive School in Italy. The tendency to crime is the product of many components, also biological and genetic roots. To say this thing is Adrian Raine, an eminent psychiatrist and criminologist English, who seeks to recover and reinterpret Lombroso, but especially opens a whole new frontier: the neurocriminology. The idea was to try the basics of anti-social behavior in the folds of the brain, using neuroscience and high tech, until you get to predict the propensity to crime, crossing genetic parameters, biological, but also social. We are currently faced, therefore, with a dilemma that is not easy to solve. It is impossible to think that man’s actions are completely dominated by the fatality of destiny ˗ and that, therefore, the offender is an irresponsible ˗ but it is no longer possible refer to the good old concept of “free will” and believe that he is a “subject” in a strong sense, completely free to choose between good and evil. The presence in the courts of neuroscientists and the individualization of punitive sanctions: these are now the most urgent problems that arise in the field of criminal law.
Lombroso’S Biological Theory Of Crime Essay
The document discusses Cesare Lombroso's biological theory of crime, which proposed that criminals have certain physical abnormalities or "atavistic" traits that can identify them. Lombroso believed criminals were evolutionary throwbacks that could be detected in order to isolate them from society. His theory gave rise to biological theories of crime that examine genetic and biological factors like IQ levels, brain abnormalities, and hormonal imbalances that may predispose individuals to criminal behavior. Lombroso's theory was influential but is now discredited. The document also examines the XYY syndrome and how an extra Y chromosome has been associated with low IQ and inability to adapt socially, which could increase criminality.
Filler ppt-homophobia
This presentation seeks to educate about homophobia by exploring its origins and causes. It discusses how the term was coined in the 1960s and analyzes the concept through several frameworks. Homophobia stems partly from male gender norms and the idea that homosexuality threatens masculinity. It is also rooted in heterosexism, the ideology that enforces the invisibility of LGBTQ people and hostility toward them. Research has found a link between homophobia and sexual arousal, where homophobic men may experience arousal from homosexual content but feel threatened by this.
SociologyExchange.co.uk Shared Resource
This document discusses different explanations for criminal and deviant behavior:
1. A biological explanation is presented from Lombroso's 1876 theory that criminals have distinct physical features identifying them as a separate species. Questions are provided to ask Lombroso.
2. A sociological view is that crime is socially constructed based on the norms and values of a society. What is considered criminal changes over time and cultures.
3. Psychological explanations include theories of PMS affecting behavior, and maternal deprivation in childhood leading to criminal personalities seeking attention.
Theories of crimes
This document summarizes several theories of criminology from the classical, neoclassical, and positive schools. It discusses key figures like Cesare Beccaria, Jeremy Bentham, and Cesare Lombroso who developed theories of deterrence, utilitarianism, and the idea that criminals have distinct physical attributes. The document also examines sociological theories of crime from thinkers such as Emile Durkheim, Robert Merton, and Edwin Sutherland and their ideas around anomie, strain, and differential association. A wide range of factors are analyzed for their impact on criminality including geography, biology, psychology, and social influences.
Theories related to physical appearance
1. Several theories attempted to correlate physical characteristics and personality traits, but were later disproven.
2. Ernst Kretschmer hypothesized three body types associated with temperaments but did not consider environmental factors.
3. William Sheldon also categorized three body types (ectomorph, endomorph, mesomorph) linked to behaviors but his work is now dismissed.
4. Cesare Lombroso argued some criminals had distinct physical traits identifying them as "born criminals", a theory that is no longer valid.

1) The document discusses 6 key scientific discoveries and achievements related to human origins and social evolution. These include uncovering the mystery of Homo sapiens sapiens origins, characteristics that define modern human society, the latent phase in adolescent development, the socially-encephalic-genetic spiral of development, and principles of social ontology.
2) A major discovery is that strict control over sexuality and adherence to a universal code of conduct led to the first unique human community and transition to Homo sapiens sapiens. Other findings examine genetic and brain changes influenced by social factors.
3) The document proposes social ontology and the principle of relevance as an innovative methodology for integrating social sciences with a focus
TOCC-2.pptx
This document summarizes three major theories of criminal behavior - biological, psychological, and sociological approaches. It also outlines six early general theories on the causes of crime: demonological theory, positivist theory, neoclassical theory, classical theory, conflict theory, and critical theory. The biological approach suggests criminal behavior results from flaws in biological makeup. The psychological approach examines abnormal mental processes and learning models. The sociological approach views criminality as socially constructed and influenced by social structures and cultural values.

CRIME THEORIES
The function of theory is to provide puzzles for research (Lewis Coser)
Source: O'Connor, T. (03/26/04). In Crime Theories, MegaLinks in Criminal Justice. Retrieved from

To understand criminal justice, it is necessary to understand crime. Most policy-
making in criminal justice is based on criminological theory, whether the people making
those policies know it or not. In fact, most of the failed policies (what doesn't work) in
criminal justice are due to misinterpretation, partial implementation, or ignorance of
criminological theory. Much time and money could be saved if only policymakers had a
thorough understanding of criminological theory. At one time, criminological theory was
rather pure and abstract, with few practical implications, but that is not the case anymore.
For example, almost all criminologists today use a legalistic rather than normative
definition of crime. A legalistic definition of crime takes as its starting point the statutory
definitions contained in the penal code, legal statutes or ordinances. A crime is a crime
because the law says so. Sure, there are concerns about overcriminalization (too many
laws) and undercriminalization (not enough laws), but at least on the surface, a legalistic
approach seems practical. It is also advantageous to a normative definition, which sees
crime as a violation of norms (social standards of how humans ought to think and
behave), although there are times when criminology can shed light on norms and norm
violators.
Every criminological theory contains a set of assumptions (about human nature,
social structure, and the principles of causation, to name a few), a description of the
phenomena to be explained (facts a theory must fit), and an explanation, or prediction,
of that phenomenon. The assumptions are also called meta-theoretical issues, and deal
with debates like those over free will v. determinism or consensus v. conflict. The
description is a statistical profile, figure, diagram, or table of numbers representing the
patterns, trends, and correlates of the type of crime taken as an exemplar (most
appropriate example) of all crime. The explanation is a set of variables (things that can
be tweaked or changed) arranged in some kind of causal order so that they have statistical
and meaningful significance. Criminological theories are primarily concerned with
etiology (the study of causes or reasons for crime), but occasionally have important
things to say about actors in the criminal justice system, such as police, attorneys,
correctional personnel, and victims.
There are basically thirteen (13) identifiable types of criminological theory,
only three (3) of which are considered "mainstream" or conventional criminology (strain,
learning, control). The oldest theory (biochemistry) goes back to 1876 and the last four
theories (left realism, peacem.
