Criminological Theory Case Study

In my opinion the principal conflict is situated around the “criminal event” and it 's translation.

I think that modern reserchers are in constant seak of the 'contemporary explaination of crime ' (Cullen 2011, p 3) .

The variation of crime definition and it 's explaination, connected to cultural and social groups.

“ The measure of crime suffers from conceptual ambiguity regarding how crimes are defined by the resercher and the respondent.” ( Measure of crime, p 177)

We can determine the type of crime, by it 's context: offender, victime, and setting. ( p 407 Dabney, p 407), and based on it 's context, we might determine its consequences : trus we 'll be able to determine a possible punishment for it, and/ or the prevension for the future crimes.

“SOME THEORIES focus on either crime or criminal behavior, two rather differents fenomena that are often treated, as they were identical.” ( Criminological theory , p 225)

Crime is directly related to our siciety, and it 's a social event. I would say that principal abstruseness ( vagueness) in regard to a crime and it 's theoretical explaination, is it 's definition. If reserchers will be able correctly defyne the type of crime, they will be likely to give it 's an explaination, and will try to resolve it, by the method of application, of a correspondent type of theory. If the definition will be wrongly

The interpretation of crime might be translated through the use of already exsistent criminological Theories and applied to any particular crime, by the way of integration in our modern context. In it 's turn, the crime interpretation or translation varie between the resercchers, and theorists who have a tendence to apply different theories to the same crime there are 3 major directions for the dispute in
