As I mentioned the time where someone I knew another kid that got arrested for vandalism the rest of my friends wanted to finish the job apparently. I knew this will lead to more trouble which perfectly goes into deterrence theory of criminology. Although, I did not get in trouble later that day I found out the same guys who went without me also got arrested so this is where I refer to the deterrence theory. I was scared out of committing that crime as I knew somebody who got in trouble which scared me into not wanting to commit that crime. For me this only worked on the specific crime of vandalism because I believe that crime is a bit more serious than others and the punishment for that crime does not seem understandable when told to others. Deterrence theory does not always work especially when looking at my crime history has not deterred me from committing other crimes although I have seen others be arrested and punished. I enjoy evaluating these theories as I can apply them to multiple situations even when the situations are completely
