Theories of Crime

Many criminal theories are macroscopic theories that explain crime based on a large number of people and society. Macro theory is the major theoretical type used to explain crime, but there are also various equally important "individuals" or micro factors. Two such individual factors are mothers smoking (MCS) and cognitive ability, or IQ (IQ). MCS has been shown to adversely affect the neurodevelopment of the fetus and cause severe damage to the nervous system.

The purpose of this paper is to compare, compare and evaluate the sociological theory of the causal relation between two crimes and the psychological theory of two criminal causal relations. Sociological theory of crime, labeling, and structural functionalism / tension. Howard Becker is a sociologist and is often considered to be the development of label theory. However, the origin of this theory can be traced back to the early twentieth century sociologist.

This article focuses on three major sociological theories of crime and crime: stress, social learning and control theory. Then a brief introduction to several other important criminal theories, most of them representing the interpretation of these three theories. Finally, a brief description of the effort to develop a comprehensive criminal theory. All described theories explain the crime according to the social environment including family, school, colleague group, workplace, community and society. However, these theories differ from each other in several ways. Focus on certain different characteristics of the social environment and focus on explaining individual differences in crime while providing various social situations leading to crime. Differences in detectives (eg why some communities have higher crime rates than other communities)

Sociologists refine existing theories and continue to develop new criminal theories including comprehensive criminal theory (such as Charles Tittle 's controlled equilibrium theory). However, sociologists began to realize that it is impossible to explain crime from a direct social environment. Therefore, they are more concerned about the larger social environment that affects the current social environment. They pay more attention to those who discover their own circumstances that affect whether sensitive individuals participate in the crime. In addition, sociologists are beginning to realize that they need to consider factors considered in biological theory, psychological theory, and other criminal theories. Most notably, they have to take personal characteristics such as intelligence, impulsivity, irritability into account. These characteristics may affect individual response to the social environment.
