control theories of crime  

Definición

  • Control theories start from the idea that all normal people are capable of crimes because all are able to see the benefits of crime and all are capable of committing them. Because crimes can be invented by every-one, no special motivation and little or no learning are required for their performance. [Source: Encyclopedia of Crime and Punishment; Control Theories]
