The positivist school of criminology embraced a scientific approach to understanding crime, focusing on biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to criminal behavior. They believed that individuals were not solely responsible for their actions and that factors beyond their control could influence criminal behavior. Positivist criminologists advocated for rehabilitation and treatment rather than punishment for criminals.
Yes, a criminologist is a social scientist who studies crime, criminal behavior, and the criminal justice system to understand patterns, causes, and effects of criminal activity. They analyze data, conduct research, and develop theories to help prevent and control crime.
Not necessarily! A 'criminal' can be wrongly convicted or framed. Also a person with perfect self-control could unwittingly be a criminal in many ways. For instance in some towns chewing gum could make you a criminal. Would you consider yourself lacking self-control if you were convicted on an obscure law such as 'carrying an exposed fish through the city limits on a Monday'? There are many such laws on the statues in many places that you could unwittingly be a criminal.

Charles Goring's theory in criminology focused on the concept of biological determinism, proposing that criminal behavior was inherited and passed down through generations. He believed that criminals were physically different from non-criminals, with traits such as lower intelligence, impulsivity, and a lack of moral control. His work contributed to the development of the field of biocriminology, but it has been widely criticized for its simplistic and reductionist view of criminal behavior.

Various factors allowed criminals to be enslaved in different societies throughout history. These include criminal punishment systems that permitted enslavement as a form of punishment, the desire to maintain a cheap labor force, and societal norms that viewed criminals as deserving of slavery as a means of social control and retribution. Additionally, systems of enslavement often targeted marginalized groups, including those who were criminalized disproportionately.

all gun control accomplishes is keeping guns out of the hands of criminals that try to buy a gun legally, but almost ALL criminals don't buy guns legally they get them from other criminals, illegally. it is impossible to keep guns out of the hands of criminals because a criminal does what a criminal does best, break the law and get them illegally (Black Market), and since they don't follow the laws making more of them only hinders law abiding people not the criminals, they will still get any type of gun they want because the all mighty dollar is king. Even if we outlawed all guns the criminals will still have them they would smuggle them into the country just like drugs. The only thing that would accomplish would be law abiding people would be defenceless and the criminals would rule , and yes they take the cops guns from them too when they outlaw all guns, look at England . So i see it like this keep the gun laws we have now and inforce them don't wast my tax dollars to make more laws that only hurt me When guns are outlawed, the only people will have guns are the criminals. and when seconds count, the police are only minutes away
Control over the actions of others is called manipulation.
