HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF CRIMINOLOGY

As previously introduced, criminology is an advanced, theoretical field of study of crimes, the causes of crimes (etiology), the meaning of crimes in terms of law, and community reaction to crim. Not too long ago, criminology separated from its mother discipline, Sociology, and although there are some historical continuity, it has since developed habits and methods of thinking about crime and criminal behavior that are uniquely own. The history of criminology dates back from the works of criminological thinkers or theorists in criminology. The origins of criminology are usually located in late-eighteenth century writings of those who sought to reform criminal justice and penal systems that they perceived as cruel, inhumane, and arbitrary. These old system applied the law unequally, were subject to great corruption and often used torture and death penalty indiscriminately. A timeline is presented for a better portrayal of criminology in the past to the present times:

The Pre-Classical Period The theoretical dimension of criminology has long history and ideas about the causes of crime cam be found in philosophical thought over two thousand years ago. For example, in Politics, Plato’s Student, Aristotle (384-322 BC), stated that “poverty engenders rebellion and crime. Religious scholars focused on causes as diverse as natural human need, deadly sins, and the corrupting influence of Satan and other demons. The validity of such theories was founded in religious authority and they were not viewed as theories, subject to verification through any form of systematic observation, measurement and analysis. 1.2 The Classical Beginning The leading theorists in criminology history started with the advocates of this classical school of criminology, the Italian Cesare Beca 1.3 The Neo-Classical Era 1.4 Positivist Determinism 1.5 Cartographical Thougt 1.6 The Socialist Criminology 1.7 Critical Criminology 1.8 Feminist Criminology 1.9 Control Theory 1.10 Containment Theory
