The larger scale theories generally fall into the category called Macro theories and they are generally considered to be concerned with social structures and the effects of those structures on the human behavior while Micro theories are considered to be theories and are concerned with trying to explain the individual level causes of crime and delinquency.

Difference between micro and macro-level theories from sociologists views?

There are two types of sociological theories: macro and micro. Macro theories focus on the society as a whole and aim at establishing the general characteristics of the society. It is basically looking at the society as a whole and looking at a bigger picture. It aims to answer three basic questions: 1) What holds the societies together? 2) What are the sources of conflict in a society? 3) How do societies change? There are two branches of macro-sociological theories: consensus and conflict, with the main representative being functionalist and marxist respectively. Micro theories on the other hand, focus on the individuals who make up the society unlike macro theory which looks at the society as a whole. Micro theories are small scale. Consider it a magnifying glass, when you look through it, you 'zoom' in to the society and see the individuals who have made up that particular society.
