Milgram's Theory of Obedience
Social Disorganization is a theory on why the majority of people do not commit crimes. It says that if the people of a society agree on the validity of the rules in a society and those rules are strong and clear, deviance will be at a minimum.
The concept you are referring to is known as deterrence theory, and it is commonly attributed to the classical school of criminology, particularly Cesare Beccaria, an Italian criminologist who wrote about deterrence in his work "On Crimes and Punishments" in 1764. Beccaria argued that individuals weigh the benefits and costs of their actions and will be deterred from committing crimes if the punishment is severe and certain.
Classical criminology theory focuses on rational decision-making and assumes that individuals choose to commit crimes based on a weighing of potential costs and benefits. However, this theory fails to consider factors such as social, economic, and psychological influences that may contribute to criminal behavior. Additionally, classical criminology promotes punitive measures over rehabilitative interventions, which may not effectively address the root causes of criminal behavior.
Yes they should. Once they have been released, they have served whatever penalty society has chosen to inflict upon them. If they should not be allowed to live where they choose, that would mean that they should not have been released. While they are still in jail, they do not have the freedom to live where they choose. That is the way that society restricts people's freedom of movement, by putting them in jail. If you believe that convicted sex offenders should never be allowed to live where they choose, then the way to do that is to require a life sentence (or a death penalty) with no chance of parole for all convicted sex offenders. But if you are willing to let them out of jail then you must also allow them to live where they wish. In theory, they have learned their lesson and will not commit further crimes. And if they do commit further crimes, they can go to jail again. Meanwhile, like anyone else, they are entitled to be considered innocent until proven guilty. That's how the justice system works.
