Do you think that sociological theories of crime causation are sound? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
Most contemporary analysts would probably select sociological explanations of crime as having the most explanatory power (thus being the most sound) because the sociological perspective recognizes the influence of culture and environment on both personality and individual choices. Within the academic community, sociological theories are probably the most widely accepted today. Among policymakers, however, social-psychological approaches may be the most attractive because they demand that responsibility be placed on the offender for actively participating in rehabilitation efforts and because they are consistent with popular cultural and religious values centered on teaching the differences between right and wrong.
