Study Notes
Criminal Theories
- Theories explain variations in crime rates, both group and individual.
- Theories are developed through:
- Direct observation/creation
- Competition amongst theories
- Integration of different theories
Theoretical Integration
- Elliott advocated for theoretical integration; Gottfredson and Hirschi did not.
- Four ways to integrate theories:
- Conceptual integration
- Propositional integration
- Within-level integration
- Cross-level integration
Key Theorists and Models
- Elliott: Model encompassing strain, bonding, and learning.
- Krohn: Network analysis approach.
- Thornberry: Interactional theory.
- Title: Control balance theory.
