What possesses individuals to commit these crimes? How does society actually view these crimes? Have these crimes become so imbedded in our society that we are starting to consider this part of the normal way of life? Included in this paper, is a choice of criminological theory on answering these questions. All three of these crimes are very different, but in some cases these crimes can be very similar as well. To some of us, a crime is a crime, no matter how big or small.
Crime Typology is how criminologists conduct research on the links of different types of crime and criminals. Typologies can be categorized in different ways focusing on the criminal and placing them in groups such as, professional criminals, psychotic criminals, first time criminals, and so on. Crime typologies are grouped into categories such as violent crimes, property crimes, and sex crime plus many more. The importance for the research on different types of crime and the behaviors of crime helps Criminologists understand the reason crimes are committed. The results from the research can give out useful information can offer insight on how to eliminate or reduce crime. There are three categories that can make up Crime typologies, Street crimes (violent and property), enterprise crimes, and public order crimes.
The first type of crime is Street crimes. Street crimes fall into two different types of crime categories, violence and property. Street crime is considered a personal robbery.
