Father of Rational Choice: Cesare Baccaria

Born in Milan's wealthy family on March 15, 1738, Cesare Baccaria was said to be the biggest child among the three brothers, conservative and cowardly, but if he is very smart It was proved. He studied at Jesuit school until graduating in 1754. He continued pursuing legal interests at Pavia but he also showed interest in economics and public policy reforms. During the research at Pavia Beccaria, two researchers with common interests met with friends. Reforming the medieval "criminal justice system", they enthusiastically named the trio "fist college".

Both Cesare Becarria (1738-1794) and Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) believe that crime is self-interest, is a result of a cost-benefit analysis of a reasonable actor, and the interests of criminals are higher than that I will. Therefore, their proposal to deter crime is to increase their perceived expenses by increasing the probability of punishment and investigation. This method is called crime deterrence theory. According to this theory, the real purpose of the legal and judicial system is to build "a system of threats" or to bring "terror of law" as Bentham said. This kind of thinking always existed in the theory of reasonable choice crime.

The theory of rational choice began in the late eighteenth century. It was created by Cesare Beccaria. The concept of rational choice theory is that criminals make rational and wise criminal choices. This allows criminals to make decisions if criminals are based on expenses that exceed expenses or punishments. The XYY theory began in 1965. Established by Patricia A. Jacobs. Patricia Jacobs examined the chromosomal abnormality of 197 Scottish prisoners with a simple blood test. Super men, also known as XYY syndrome, has little evidence that men with this syndrome are committing more serious violent crimes than other males. However, they may commit more crimes (Schmalleger, 2008)
