Throughout the years, many theories have been developed to explain criminal behavior. Some of those theories were uncommon, while other theories evolved with time, and are still being explored and used today(Bohm & Vogel, 2011). In the past, theories were mainly explored individually, today criminologists seek to find the best solutions to crime as they explore a combination of theories. An integrated theory is a theory that combines theories or concepts from the same or different disciplines. With integrated theories, there are three different types. The first type integrates concepts from the different theories within the same discipline. The second type integrates theories or concepts from different disciplines within the same paradigm.
