  • A) Social Value Systems
      What are the goals of criminal behavior?
        economic gain prestige release emotional tension B) Social Structure determines Opportunities
          We all have a variety of identities that we choose according to specific situations and that determine our behavior.
            This is also described in the literature as social statuses acted out as role performance.
          Identities are learned (socialized) What kind of identities we can learn depends on our social standing. Opportunity structure or availability of means.
            legal means may be or may not be available same is true for illegal means C) Social Norms put Pressure on the Individual
              Internalized norms, or the voice of conscience determine individual behavior
                they depend on the social environment, the social milieu depending on social status, they also depend on social structure.
              All three perspectives are not to be seen as being mutually exclusive. It is rather a matter of emphasizing one or the other approach.

Oh, Behave! Britain’s Nuffield Council Weighs in on Behavioral Genetics ehavioral genetics has long been the wicked stepchild of the genetic sciences. Making claims about the genetic roots of behavior often leaves one treading the unsafe terrain of genetic determinism. But recently, and intrepidly, Britain’s Nuffield Council on Bioethics published a lengthy report, Genetics and Human Behavior: The Ethical Context , which attempts to bring behavioral genetics back into the broader debate over new genetic technologies. The council, a group of lawyers, scientists, ethicists, and academics, aimed the report at non-specialists, saying its intention was to “define and consider the ethical, legal, and social issues arising from the study of the genetics of variation within the normal range of behavioral characteristics.” The Nuffield Council readily concedes the tainted provenance of the field of behavioral genetics—including its link to eugenic theories popular in the early to mid-twentieth century. Eugenicists in Britain, the United States, and many other countries once confidently assumed that they could locate the hereditary causes of a range of human behaviors: from “feeblemindedness” to cheerfulness to quirks such as love of the sea—a trait they dubbed “thalassophilia” and which they thought was passed down from mariner to mariner through the generations. By the late 1920s, such theories had become the scientific justification for compulsory sterilization laws in some U.S. states, and were a favorite cause of “progressives,” including the avowedly liberal jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Irvine, CA 92697-7080 Introduction

The Department of Criminology, Law and Society focuses on the causes, manifestations, and consequences of criminal behavior; methods of controlling criminal behavior; and the relationships and interactions between law, social structure and cultural practices. Courses include overviews of American legal systems, forms of criminal behavior, legal theory, social science and the law, criminological theory, victimology, and regulatory issues, in addition to substantive areas of law such as family, criminal, environmental, immigration, procedural, and constitutional law. The Department of Criminology, Law and Society (CLS) has established itself as one of the nation's top programs in criminology, criminal justice, and legal studies. Established as a formal department with it's own Ph.D. program in 1992 within the School of Social Ecology, CLS faculty have trained numerous undergraduate and graduate students over almost three decades. Graduates work in both the public and private sectors, and at colleges and universities around the country. The CLS curriculum offers a broad array of topics for both undergraduate and graduate study which are central to crime and its control, social policy, and the law. In keeping with one of the main tenets of Social Ecology, faculty and students approach these subjects from a multidisciplinary perspective.

GLOSSARY
TERMS OF CRIMINOLOGY
Anthropometry The attempt to derive character traits by measuring the human body. Anthropometrical approaches to crimininality include Lombroso's measurement of atavistic stigmata , and Sheldon's measurement of general physique, or " somatotype ." Atavism : Atavism refers to Lombroso's theory that while most individuals evolve, some devolve, becoming primitive or "atavistic". These evolutionary "throwbacks" are "born criminals," the most violent criminals in society. Born criminals could be identified through their atavistic stigmata . (For a good account of Lombroso's theories of atavism, see Gould's The Mismeasure of Man , p ages 151-75.) Celerity : Swiftness. Beccaria argues that in order to be an effective deterrent , punishments must possess celerity. A punishment that occurs quickly after the crime helps to form a strong connection between the punishment and the crime in the minds of the general public, so that whenever a citizen contemplates a criminal act, he will instantly recall the punishment and weigh it into his deliberation. See also certainty and severity Certainty : According to Beccaria, a punishment must be certain to follow from the crime in order to be an effective deterrent. The greater the extent to which a would-be offender thinks that she can get away with a crime, the less she will weigh the punishment into her deliberation of whether or not to commit the crime.

http://www.crimetheory.com/Theories/Positivist.htm
Index THE POSITIVIST SCHOOL
The Positivist School of Criminology rejected the Classical School's idea that all crime resulted from a choice that could potentially be made anyone. Though they did not disagree with the Classical School that most crime could be explained through "human nature," they argued that the most serious crimes were committed by individuals who were "primitive" or " atavistic "that is, who failed to evolve to a fully human and civilized state. Crime therefore resulted not from what criminals had in common with others in society, but from their distinctive physical or mental defects. The positivists understood themselves as scientists: while the classical thinkers were concerned with legal reform, constructing an environment in which crime was seen to be not in an individual's self-interest, the positivists were concerned with scientifically isolating and identifying the determining causes of criminal behavior in individual offenders. Like the Classical School, the Positivist School had its origins in Italy. Cesare Lombroso is regarded as its founder, with his theory of the "born criminal," and the social implications of his ideas were considered by his student

Frequently Asked Questions
3. How effective is drug addiction treatment? In addition to stopping drug use, the goal of treatment is to return the individual to productive functioning in the family, workplace, and community. Measures of effectiveness typically include levels of criminal behavior, family functioning, employability, and medical condition. Overall, treatment of addiction is as successful as treatment of other chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, and asthma. Treatment of addiction is as successful as treatment of other chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and asthma.
According to several studies, drug treatment reduces drug use by 40 to 60 percent and significantly decreases criminal activity during and after treatment. For example, a study of therapeutic community treatment for drug offenders (See Treatment Section) demonstrated that arrests for violent and nonviolent criminal acts were reduced by 40 percent or more. Methadone treatment has been shown to decrease criminal behavior by as much as 50 percent. Research shows that drug addiction treatment reduces the risk of HIV infection and that interventions to prevent HIV are much less costly than treating HIV-related illnesses. Treatment can improve the prospects for employment, with gains of up to 40 percent after treatment.

Congressman Duncan's Remarks From The Congressional Record
NATIONAL DISCUSSION CALLED FOR CONCERNING CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS FOR VIOLENCE AMONG NATION'S YOUTH
April 21, 1999
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Duncan) is recognized for 5 minutes. Mr. DUNCAN. Mr. Speaker, everyone was horrified by these terrible shootings in Littleton, Colorado yesterday. This is one of the worst tragedies that has ever occurred in this Nation. There is nothing worse that can happen to parents than to outlive one of their children, and certainly, the sympathies of all of us go out to the families who lost loved ones in Colorado yesterday. Many years ago I taught American government and journalism at T.C. Williams High School here in Alexandria, Virginia. I go to 75 or 80 schools each year and have 15 or 20 school groups visit me here in Washington, as well as speaking to many, many youth groups through the year. I am around thousands of teenagers each year. So this tragedy has really been on my mind last night and today. I remember several months ago, after one of these other school shootings, I was driving to the airport here in Washington to go home to Tennessee. The national head of the YMCA was on the CBS national radio news. He said something that I have never forgotten. He said that our children are being neglected today in this country as never before in our history.
