Causation of Crime

The two major criminal theories of the 20th century are Merton's distortion / chaotic theory and the social collapse of shows and Mackay. Both theories are very important in that era and still influence today's theory. In this article I will explain these two theories and point out similarities and differences. Robert Merton has created his theory of strain / disorder. The influence came from Emile Durkheim's anomie theory. Dürkem said the anomaly is social "omission or deregulation".

Crime is inevitable and will never be eradicated. Sociologists like Travis Hirschi and Michael Gottfredson argue that social relations theory and self-control theory can help society understand the causes of crime. In this article, I will study the theory of self-control and social relations and how these two theories explain the causal relationship of crime. Also explain the basic elements of each theory, compare and contrast the similarities and differences between the two theoretical perspectives, and explain the improvement points necessary to strengthen each theory.

In general, crime is made up of four elements: mental state, behavior, simultaneity, and causal relationship. Crime is defined by regulations that are legislation passed by Congress. The Charter establishes specific elements of each crime. Not all crimes are the same, as regulation stipulates which elements constitute a particular crime. Mental condition factors are also called criminal intentions and represent the mental state of the defendant at the time of the crime. Another way to think about the state of mind is "What is the intention of the accused committing a crime?" The state of mind usually refers to the intent of the defendant's breach of law.

To judge criminal responsibility, we need to prove all the elements necessary for crime. Generally speaking, crime includes sinful mental state, sinful behavior, consent and causality. To prove guilty, mental state and behavior must be consistent. Furthermore, in order to determine a causal relationship, the action must be linked to the resulting damage.
