DIVISIONS OF CRIMINOLOGY

1 Criminal Etiology - it is an attempt at scientific analysis of the causes of the crime. 2 Sociology of law — an attempt at scientific analysis of the conditions which penal/criminal laws has developed as a process of formal and social control. 3 Penology — concerned with the control and prevention of crime and the treatment of offenders. NATURE OF CRIMINOLOGY 

Criminology cannot be considered as a science because it has not yet acquired universal validity, not stable and homogenous as it varies from one place to another. However, it is a science when applied to law enforcement and prevention of crimes under the following nature: 1 It is an applied science- by application of different scientific instruments. In can also be applied in the study of causes of crime, anthropology, sociology, psychology and other natural science. 2 It is a social science — its study is a part of social science because crime is a social phenomenon and a social creation. 3 It is dynamic — criminology changes as the social condition changes.

NATURE OF CRIMINOLOGY

1 It is an Applied Science- It involves other sciences such as psychology, sociology, psychiatry, anthropology, medicine, chemistry, mathematics, etc., in a process known as instrumentation.

2 It is a Social Science- Crime is a social phenomenon, thus, its study involves the society as a whole. 3 It is Dynamic- Criminology changes as social condition does. 4 It is Nationalistic- Practice of criminology must be in adherence to the laws of the nation.

MAJOR ALLIED SCIENCES OF CRIMINOLOGY AS A FIELD OF STUDY 1 Sociology (Sociological Criminology) - The study of crime that is focused on a group of people and the society as a whole. 2 Psychology- (Psychological Criminology) - Deals with the study of behavior and mental processes of criminals. 3 Psychiatry (Psychiatric Criminology) - A science that deals with the study of criminal behavior in terms of motives and drives. 4 Anthropology (Anthropological Criminology) - Deals with the study of mankind, particularly, the culture and physical features of distinctive groups of people. 5 Physiology (Physiological Criminology) - Studies function of various organs of the body, in relation to the behavior of a particular person.

SCOPE OF STUDY OF CRIMINOLOGY 1 Criminal Ecology — study of criminality in relation to special distribution in a community. 2 Criminal Epidemiology — study of the relationship between environment and criminality. 3 Criminal Physical Anthropology — study of criminality in relation between mind and behavior of a criminal. 4 Criminological research — study of crime correlated with antecedent variables, state of crime trend 5 Victimology — study of the role of the victim of crime

6 Criminological Theories — study of the different theories as the genesis of criminal behavior

WHERE CAN INCREASE IN CRIME IN URBAN CENTERS BE ATTRIBUTED? 1 Lack of sound prevention planning 2 Interplay of accelerated social changes which are the aftermath of the development 3 Apathy of the community towards involvement in the campaign against criminality.

BROAD WAYS OF SOCIAL RESPONSES TO THE CRIME PROBLEM 1 Prevention per use 2 Rehabilitation 3 Control APPROACHES TO THE GOAL OF PRODUCING CRIMES 1 Crime suppression or reaction measures undertaken after the commission 2 Crime prevention or proaction measures undertaken before the commission of crime. TRIAD OF CRIME 

The so called triad of crime consists of desire, capability and opportunity. These are the factors which led to the commission of crime.

AMOUNTS AND KINDS OF CRIMES IN THE PHILIPPINES DIFFICULT TO PORTRAY: REASONS 1 A lot of crimes are not reported to the police 2 Not all crimes are reflected in the records in the police crime registers. 3 Many crimes which are directly referred to the prosecutors are recorded in the police crime registers. 4 There is yet no earnest and persistent effort on the part of the police or any agency of the government for determining systematically the extent of unreported crimes in the country.

WAYS OF COMBATING A CRIME 1 To wage a massive information dissemination campaign on crime prevention 2 To strengthen law enforcement agencies 3 To formulate effective rehabilitation program for the convicted offender. LEVELS OF CRIME PREVENTION 1 Primary level — identification of factors in the environment which contributes to criminally deviant behavior. 2 Secondary level - identification of individual or group of persons with criminally deviant behavior. 3 Tertiary level - formulation of rehabilitation measure to prevent recidivism. AGENCIES OF THE GOVERNMENT THAT IS PRIMARILY CHARGED WITH THE CAMPAIGN TO PREVENT CRIMES

1 The CRIME PREVENTION AND COORDINATION SERVICES of the NAPOLCOM 2 The Regional Offices of the NAPOLCOM for the provinces and the cities. 3 Offices of the NAPOLCOM provincial Officers in every province for the municipalities or towns. CHARACTERISTICS OF CRIME

It does not respect age, sex, culture, customs, race, and religion of the society. It is a worldwide phenomenon. It occurs in all existing economic strata. Its causes are multifarious. It is difficult to eradicate. There must be a certain external consequence or harm caused. The harm must be forbidden by law There must be an intentional or reckless action. ―Mens Rea‖ must be present.

  

There must be a fusion or concurrence of mens rea and conduct There must be a casual relationship between the legally forbidden harm and the act. There must be a legally prescribed punishment for the act.

THEORIES OF CRIME CAUSATION

1 Earliest Theory of Crime Causation a Demonological Theory- States that people commit crime because they are possessed by evil spirits b Trial by Ordeal- Variety of procedures established to determine the guilt or innocence of an accused c Thucydides- A Greek historian who first wrote the usefulness of death penalty 2 Era of Classical Criminology a PRE CLASSICAL THEORY - State that the criminal commits a crime because of supernatural powers or he is posses by demons or dammed by the underworld forces or other wordily forces. b CLASSICAL THEORY - Classical Theory — founded by Cesare Bacarria maintains that man is essentially moral creature with absolutely free will to choose between good and evil, therefore stress is a place upon the criminal himself that man is responsible to his act. The concepts include the following:

- human free will - Every man is responsible for his own act. - in every mistake or violation of the law, one has to

suffer the penalty - Man is essentially a moral creature who was given a free will to choose what is right and evil. HOWEVER, it is considered as: a Unfair - it treats all men as if they are robot without regard to individual differences and surrounding circumstances when the crime was committed. b Unjust - it imposes equal punishment time offender and recidivist.

c NEO CLASSICAL THEORY It asserted that certain categories of offender such a minor, insane incompetence shall be treated leniently irrespective of their criminal acts because these People are not capable of knowing what is right and wrong, they should not be regarded as criminals. children and lunatics cannot calculate pleasure and pain mitigating circumstances must be taken into account in imposing penalties. D POSITIVE AND ITALIAN THEORY — founded by Lombroso. This theory says that crime is an act as natural phenomenon and is comparable to a natural disaster or calamity. That crime and moral phenomenon cannot be treated and checked by the imposition of punishment but rather rehabilitation or the enforcement of individual measures. a Man is subdued by morbid phenomenon who constrains to do wrong even against his own volition. b Crime is essentially a social phenomenon and therefore cannot be treated by the imposition of imprisonment. CLASSES OF CRIMINALS: a born criminal — atavism b insane criminal — idiots, imbeciles c criminaloids — not born with physical stigmata but who are of such mental makeup that they display anti social conduct. 3 Period of Modern Criminology a Italian/Positivist TheoryMade emphasis on the scientific treatment of criminals, not on penalties. It asserted that crime, like any other act, is a natural

phenomenon and is comparable to disaster or calamity. This theory promoted the doctrine of determinism. b Determinism- States that there are existing situations or circumstances that interferes in the decision or action of man, thus, he is forced to commit crime, even without intention of doing it. 4 Period of Independent Criminology a Anomie Theory- Advocated by Emile Durkheim, this theory states that the absence of norms in the society provides a setting conducive to crime and other anti-social acts. Durkheim also proposed that crime is a natural thing in the society and it helps society for changes. b Psychoanalytical Theory- Proposed by Sigmund Freud, the Founder of Psychoanalysis. This theory maintained that people are influenced by unconscious forces including innate sexual and aggressive drives, thus they commit crime. He revealed that human personality has three-part structure: - Id- most primitive part of human personality. - Ego- guided by reality principle - Superegodirects acceptable behavior

morally

c Human Ecology Theory- Advocated by Ezra Park, this theory is focused on the interrelationship of people with the environment. It maintained that crime is a result of a social change that goes along with the environmental changes. d Differential Association Theory- Advocated by Edwin Sutherland, the Dean of Modern Criminology and regarded as the most important criminologist of the 20th century, this theory maintained that the society is composed of different groups of people and organization having criminalistic and anti-criminalistic tradition. It also asserts that criminal behavior is learned through the process of communication and socialization and not inherited. e Somatotype Theory- Advocated by William Sheldon, this theory asserts that inheritance is the primary determinant of behavior and physique is a reliable

indicator of personality. He classified body types as follows: - Endomorph- predominance of soft, roundness though the regions of the body, low specific gravity and typically relaxed and comfortable disposition, extrovert, and has a viscerotonic temperance. - Mesomorph- athletic type, predominance of muscle, bone and connective tissue, normally heavy, hard and firm, smart and tough, routinely active and aggressive, characterized by romotonic or somatotonic temperance and most likely to commit crime. - Ectomorph - thin physique, flat chest, slender and poorly muscled, tend to look more exhausted and withdrawn, introvert and characterized by cerebrotonic temperance. f Containment Theory- Advocated by Walter Reckless, this theory asserts that for every individual, there exist a containing external structure (blocked opportunities) and a protective internal structure (conscience and self control), both of which provides defense, protection or insulation against crime and delinquency. g Instrumentalist TheoryAdvocated by Earl Richard Quinney, this theory asserts that the state is a device for controlling the exploited class- the class that labors for the benefit of the ruling class. It asserts that the upper class creates laws that protect their interest. h Social Class Conflict and Capitalism Theory- Advocated by Karl Marx, Frederick Engel and Willem Bonger, this theory asserts that laws are created in favor of the ruling class, thus, crime is reflected on the demoralized remaining population. i Strain Theory- advocated by Robert King Merton, this theory maintained that the failure of man to achieve a higher status of life causes him to commit crime in order to attain such status. It maintained that people are law abiding, but when under great pressure will resort to crime.

j Sub-culture Theory of Delinquency- Advocated by Albert Cohen, this theory claimed that the lower class cannot socialize effectively with the middle and the upper class, thus creates a sub-culture that rejects middle and upper class values through a process referred to as reaction formation. The sub-culture is called a gang and the kids are called delinquents. k Neutralization Theory- Advocated by Gresham Sykes, this theory stated that an individual will obey or disobey societal rules, depending upon his or her ability to rationalize whether he is protected from hurt or destruction. l Differential Opportunity Theory- Advocated by Lloyd Ohlin, this theory explained that the society leads the lower class to want things. It claimed that there is a differential opportunity or access to success goals by both legitimate and illegitimate means, depending on the specific location of the individual within the social structure. m Labeling Theory- Advocated by Frank Tennenbaum, Edwin Lemert and Howard Becker, this theory maintained that the original cause of crime cannot be known, no behavior is intrinsically criminal. Behavior becomes criminal if it is labeled as such. n Theory of Human Evolution- Advocated by Charles Darwin, this theory claimed that humans, like other animals are parasite. Man is an organism having an animalistic behavior that is dependent on other animals for survival.

G Social Control Theories - address the issue of how society maintains or elicits social control and the manner in which it obtain conformity or fails to obtain it in the form of deviance H Social Disorganization Theory- states that social indicators present in a society such as large number of single parent households, high percentage of out of school youth, unemployment problems and breakdown of social values are the causes of crimes. I Cultural Deviance Theory- a theory that views crime as a result of man‘s cultural values that permit or allow crime to happen or even demand behaviors that will violate the laws. J Cultural Transmission Theory- a theory which states that the cause of crime is the handling down of delinquency behavior as a socially learned behavior, transmitted from one generation to the next, especially among depressed and disorganized urban areas. K Culture Conflict Theory- states that different groups have different conduct norms and the conduct norms of one group may be in conflict with those of another, causing individual to commit crimes by conforming to the norms of their own groups which is in conflict with another. L Conflict Theory- states that people band together as a group because they are social animals with needs that are best served through collective action. It states further that people constantly clash as they try to advance the interest of their particular group over those of the others.
