Study Notes
Criminal Theories
- Theories explain variations in crime rates among groups and individuals.
- Theories are developed through three methods: directly, via competition, and through integration.
- Elliott advocated for theoretical integration; Gottfredson and Hirschi did not.
Types of Theoretical Integration
- Four types of integrating theories exist:
- Conceptual integration
- Propositional integration
- Within-level integration
- Cross-level integration
Key Theorists
- Elliott: Strain, bonding, and learning models
- Krohn: Network analysis
- Thornberry: Interactional theory
- Gottfredson and Hirschi: (implied, not a full theory detail)
