There are theories such as:
Sociological
This theory is one of the main causes of crime and it focuses on the crime being committed because of the social pressure and society. Individual’s behaviour is learned and maintained with punishments or rewards for instance if a young individual is growing up in a bad environment and someone tells the individual to do something bad and then rewards him the individual thinks that it is right to do that.

A good example of that would be a successful investor or businessman who is economically successful because of their employment or hard work
Ritualism
Ritualists are individuals that stop trying to achieve goals but believe in using legitimate means for achieving goals someone who is more modest and humble. For example a factory worker who might not agree with the wages of factory workers and continues to work hard. Rebellion
This is very different from retreatism because not only does a person reject both culturally accepted goals and means, but they actively replace them with completely different goals and means.
Retreatism
Means to reject both cultural and goals and the means. For instance a teenager who might just dropout of society, giving up on college or work takes illegal substances etc.
Innovation
This is when an individual accepts the cultural goals however they reject the traditional or legal means to obtain them for instance a person who invested money in something and made so much money buys an expensive house for a lot of money however the individual uses illegal methods to obtain that …show more content…
He described the killing as grotesque and senseless, and said it appeared Bartlam had wanted to "get away with the perfect murder". ( The Guardian, 2012)
'Gay slayer'
57-year-old Colin Ireland also known as a ‘gay slayer’ who had become a serial killer in 1993. Mr Ireland killed five people in just over three months in which four of them in just 15 days. After his first murder no one noticed that the person killed by Ireland was dead, therefore he rang the Samaritans and the Sun newspaper told them what he had done, wanting to be a very famous serial killer.
He would meet men at the Coleherne pub in Fulham, pretending to be a homosexual after few drinks with the victim he would them invite them to their house where he tortures and kills his victims.
Colin Ireland had read many crime books and FBI manuals; therefore he knew what to do after he kills someone. After he killed someone to avoid attracting attention he would wait till the morning to get read of the body instead of doing it in the middle of the night. He also knew how to clean the crime scene so if the police had any suspicions he would be safe. But he wasn’t that smart as it looks. After killing his last victim, he phoned up the police four times and asked them why did they not link all four murders and that he had killed them
