Over the years, criminologists have endeavoured to explain the causes and suggest solutions for youth criminal behaviour, through the use of criminological models. Pre-modern explanations were rejected by new theories because these theories fundamentally believed in rationality and humanitarianism. The purpose of pre-modern explanations was to identify, a connection between the individual and society; the reasons for disorder and an implementation of sanctions of those individuals who breached the existing norms of behaviour. Most pre-modern explanations relied upon spiritualism and naturalism. The modern models were criminological theories which were developed during the period of industrial modernity to explain offending behaviour.…

In this published book, Agnew provides the substructure of integration into just one cumulated position by assessing the ways of the postulations themselves, unlike anterior other criminologists that have failed or just didn’t get proximate enough to prove its subsisting function. Instead, Agnew takes a inversion approach in which organizing his book around theories, he organizes it around the key scopes of analysis, which are the definition of malefaction, free will or determinism, human nature, view of society and the nature of authenticity. Along each quantification Agnew endeavors to assess the contributions of each theoretical position to the rounded overall amalgamated theory. He is meticulous to include both mainstream and critical criminology’s…

In order to manage these crime trends a number of proposals were focused on, the rehabilitation through education is essential due to the overwhelming re-offending and addiction statistics. Be it drug related, lack of basic skills or little deterrence, programs to ensure criminals are not drug dependent on their release and have been given the ability to re-enter society and work within the community are proposed. The argument to make prisons tougher, to deter individuals from committing a crime is popular but impractical, due to the financial cost of imprisonment as re-offending would occur when faced with limited options upon release. Additionally policing is examined, resulting in the importance of visibility, thus reducing the opportunity to commit the crime and gaining public confidence. But enhanced policing has come at a great cost in the reduction of police assets due to budget constraints and prioritisation.…
