Study Notes

Criminal Theories Overview

Theories explain crime variations in groups and individuals.
Theories are created through direct development, competitive theories, or theoretical integration.
Elliott advocated for integrated theories, in contrast to Gotfredson and Hirschi.

Types of Theory Integration

Conceptual integration: combines concepts from different theories.
Propositional integration: combines propositions/statements from different theories.
Within-level integration: integrates theories within a single level of analysis (e.g., individual or group level).
Cross-level integration: integrates theories across different levels of analysis (e.g., from individual to social factors).

Key Theorists and Theories

Elliott: Model incorporating strain, bonding, and learning theories.
Krohn: Network analysis theory.
Thornberry: Interactional theory.
Gottfredson and Hirschi: Did not favor integration.
Control balance theory: A notable theory to remember.
