    Classical vs. Positivist Perspectives

    For hundreds of years, people have been trying to understand criminals and what causes people to act criminally. Many theories were created and some became more widely accepted than others. In the 1700s, a new perspective into criminality rose; the classical perspective. Father of the classical perspective, Cesare Beccaria, provided theories much different from the previous ideas about why people commit crimes. He and others who believed in the classical perspective focused on the idea of free will, and how people weigh the cost and benefits before committing a crime. Beccaria was also a big promoter of deterrence and how it plays a key role in helping reduce crime in societies. After the age of the classical perspective, the father of a new perspective came about, Cesare Lombroso and the positivist perspective. Backed up by theories posed by Charles Darwin, the positivist perspective quickly became widely popular. This perspective rejected the classical ideas and in turn said people do not have free will and do not rationally decide to commit a crime. Their criminal actions were based off of many outside biological, sociological, and psychological factors. Given these widely different beliefs, it is easy to set apart these two perspectives. The opposing views of free will and rational choice, the ways in which positivists think they can identify criminals, and the method for stopping crime are all major aspects that differ a lot between these viewpoints.…

    Individual Theories

    Throughout the years juvenile delinquency has been amongst us since the turn of man. Whether good or bad many kids have issues with doing the right thing, many are addicted to committing crimes or the thrill of not getting caught when they commit crimes. Then we have the few kids that had to deal with the same life situations as the children who commit crimes and they do not see or feel the need to act out about how or what cards were dealt to them, these few kids work hard at school and obey what they are told by their parents. Before the problem with juvenile delinquency was not recognized by the public until recently because of the amount of issues and youth crime brought before the courts. Researchers are trying to do research on how juvenile delinquency has become a major concern in today’s society and how we can try to point out the problem and try to find ways of fixing and or slowing down the youth crime rate. Sigmund Freud first developed this theory of Psychodynamic Theory is a study and theory of the psychological force to find the basis of human behavior. It shows the reciprocal actions between unconscious and conscious motivation. Freud believed that the human mind has three main elements the id, the ego, and the superego. The id is know as the pleasure component that looks for finding the edge, then we have the ego is the opposite of id it tries to withhold the id from taking shape. Then we have superego has to deal with the conscience of the individual and shows the moral that come to play to help one’s decision making process for all good decisions that they decide to do.…

    The Materialist Theory

    The view that I have selected and decided to analysed, explained and defend is the materialist theory.

The great Philosopher John Locke express his opinion which I clearly agree with that our minds have no ideas and concepts when we are born, as such we develop and gain knowledge over time from experiences. Without experiencing sensation or reflection we generally would not be able to differentiate the differences between physical properties such as shapes, size, texture or colour. For…
