Criminology
As a society we are constantly focused on the why, for example, why did this crime occur? In the field of criminology there are two competing schools of thought on why crime occurs, Classical School and Positivism. Over the next few weeks, we will discuss in detail different theories of crime causation.
In this task, please prepare a paper to explain your own personal theory of crime causation at the start of the course.
Create a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document that includes the answers to the following questions:
•What is the name of your theory?
•Explain why you believe it best explains incidents of crime.
•Does your theory explain all incidents of crime? Why or why not?
•How can we use your theory to address the underlying reasons why crime occurs?
•How do you think your personal theory of crime causation will compare to the other theories that you will learn in the coming weeks?
Support your responses with examples.
Cite any sources in APA format.
