Term paper on criminological theories

Sample Term Paper

In an attempt to explain the causation of crime by using criminological theories, this term paper shall not concentrate on individual theories which has been developed to explain crime from past centuries, but rather it shall offer a more pragmatic, timely, relevant and progressive crime explanation through having four distinct categories of theories to explain crime in America and world today.

These categories of theories are: those theories that focus on individual, group and/or environmental origins of crime; those theories that attempt to integrate several other individual theories in an effort to provide a more compelling explanation of crime; those theories that connect crime to the social, political and economic conditions reflected in America’s capitalistic society; and those theories that focus upon the role of social control agencies in creating, perpetuating or intensifying crime.
