Definition

  • Since the 1970s, theories of crime and punishment have blossomed in their diversity. Not only has the study of crime and punishment broadened throughout the behavioral and social sciences, but also criminologists have increasingly adopted perspectives that are no longer grounded in classical versus positivist views of human nature and social interaction.
