What causes someone to commit a crime? There are eight known types and concepts to how humans can be categorized in these Criminal Theories. "A theory is kind of model. Theories posit relationships, often of a causal sort, between events and things under study." (Schmalleger F. p.74) In the early biological theory, many believe, even though in the past few decades it has merged more and more to be forgotten, that "the causation of crime is build on the inherited and/or bodily characteristics".
If someone is honest or dishonest just by the looks of his/her face, is a statement that is as old as the antiquity. One of the first theorist that brought the term Phrenology up was Franz Joseph Gall(1758-1828).

In 1986 Harold Pepinsky and Richard Quinney tried to rephrase the sentence from "how to stop crime" into "how to make peace". The rephrasing of a negative to a positive sentence is even in the present day a big challenge, when everything is either white or black, but is not impossible. Peacemaking also has another good outcome, it educates and brings a closer outlook on how to stop
