The classical theory can prevent crime because it argues that crime which occurs due to forces of the world is aggravated by the absence of effective punishment, and therefore with effective punishment, criminals who are rational, will want to minimize pain, and maximize pleasure.

An example of classical theory in crime is Cesare Beccaria's concept of deterrence, which posits that individuals make rational choices to commit crimes based on a cost-benefit analysis. Beccaria argued that the certainty, swiftness, and proportionality of punishment would deter criminal behavior. This theory emphasizes that people will refrain from illegal activities if they believe the potential punishment outweighs the benefits of the crime.

Oregon law does not permit individuals to commit one crime to prevent another; this principle is generally known as the "necessity defense," which is rarely accepted in legal contexts. Specifically, possessing a firearm in a household with a felon can lead to legal repercussions regardless of the intent to prevent a crime. In such cases, both the firearm owner's and the felon's circumstances would be examined to determine legality. It's advisable to consult a legal expert for specific situations.
A Functionalist might view the Prohibition Era as an attempt to promote social order by reducing alcohol-related crime and improving public health. A Conflict Theorist might see it as a tool of social control by powerful groups to restrict the behavior of marginalized communities. An Interactionist might focus on how prohibition influenced social interactions, such as speakeasies providing spaces for people to socialize outside the law.
A conflict theorist would view racism as a way for dominant groups to maintain power and control over marginalized groups. They would argue that racism creates social inequalities by allowing those in power to justify their privileged positions and oppress others based on race. Conflict theorists would advocate for dismantling systemic racism to address these power imbalances.
