Rational Choice Theory: Choosing White Color Crimes

408 Words1 Page

According to the text, Rational Choice Theory is comprised of two main thoughts, and they are, although people consider and are fully aware of the repercussion of the crimes they are about to commit, they proceed with the act, the second thought is that people will chose to commit a crime if they believe the benefit is greater. (Vito, 2007). In an article titled “Choosing White Color Crimes”, the rational choice theory has always been the acceptable method of interpreting and sustaining programs that help to combat crime (Shover, n.d.). Criminologists, Derek Cornish and Ronald Clark, clarify the two categories of the decision making process, the first one being criminal involvement, and the second one being criminal event. In

  • Rational Choice Theory: Approach To Situational Crime

    1557 Words  | 4 Pages

    Situational crime prevention is an idea criminologists use in order to reduce the chances of crime initially taking place. This theory does not aim to punish criminals after the crime has taken place like the criminal justice system does, but however the opposite, it aims to reduce the chances of the crime taking place to start with. Ron Clarke (2005) describes this theory as an approach that aims to reduce the opportunities out there for crime, involving rational choice theory. Clark focuses on three methods within this theory, directing at specific crimes, altering the environment we live in and aiming to reduce the benefits of committing crimes.

  • Social Conflict Theory

    Did you know that in 2014, shoplifting and worker’s theft cost the retail industry a loss of thirty-two billion dollars (Wahba, 2015)? According Wahba “a common misperception about shoplifting is that retailers can ‘afford’ the loss of a candy bar or a pair of jeans” (2015). This type of reasoning certainly does make more sense when explained through the context of a criminological theory. For example according to the Rational Choice theory individuals weigh the costs and benefits associated with a criminal and or deviant act and then make a conscious choice. Other criminological theories explain criminal and deviant behavior using a biological, psychological, social, conflict, or multifactor component. Taking that into consideration in this

    According to McCarthy's theory of RCT from 2002 people use the same thoughts and ideas when choosing to commit a crime that they use when choosing to do non-criminal activities.(Paternoster, Pogarsky, 2009, p. 107) According to this idea people choose to offend or not to offend based on their own preferences they weigh in risk factors, costs, and benefits always thinking about what happens if they get caught, if they do not get caught and if they decide ultimately to commit or not commit the crime. (Paternoster, Pogarsky, 2009, p.107) Criminals using the RCT would check out the types of crime available to them in their area then decide if the crime is worth the time. If robbing a bank and they know a possible murder is involved they may deter themselves away from the crime for fear of ...

  • An Evaluation of a Situational Crime Prevention

    2842 Words  | 6 Pages

    There is an attempt in criminology to find an all-encompassing theory of crime in order to develop a more scientific approach to crime. This means that a universal theory of crime must be devised. This would give criminology the status of science. Thus, criminology has borrowed and further developed the concept of rational choice from the areas of economics and sociology as a background theory for situational crime prevention (Clarke, 1992). This of course, has sparked a debate among criminologists as to whether rational choice offers a complete explanation of all kinds of crime or its validity is reduced when dealing with crimes of anger, hostility and excitement (Farrell, 2010).

  • Decision Making by Criminals

    3034 Words  | 7 Pages

    The issue of whether decision making by criminals is a rational process is a heated topic of discussion when one asserts that crime is the role of choice. Before the classical school of criminology, crime was thought to be the product of the paranormal occurrence of demons, witches, ghouls, and other creatures. The time prior to the classical school of criminology, called the preclassical era, is divided in two parts. Before the time of state intervention into private matters, each individual dealt with violations of their rights. This was a problem because of the continuous cycle of violence being perpetuated. Soon the State (and even the Church) took on the task of dispensing law and order to the masses of the Middle Ages. This led to a period called the Holy Inquisition which lasted from the twelfth century to the eighteenth century. During the Holy Inquisition, punishment that was harsh and capricious was the norm. Also, there was no protection against bogus allegations, meaning, the burden of proof was on the accused to prove his/her innocence.

  • Rational Offender Theory Essay

    832 Words  | 2 Pages

    According to Clark and Cornish (1983), criminology theorists traditionally attribute the combined impact of adverse psychological, economic, and social factors as key drivers that predict the likelihood that a person will engage in criminal activity. These same factors also predict whether the person will experience any internal conflict about their decision to engage in criminal behavior. The “rational offender theory” (Clark & Cornish, 1983) describes how they plan, analyze and carry out their criminal activity. According to the theory, the offender’s decision-making will align to one of four models, i.e.: the initial involvement model, the event model, the continuation model and the desistance model (Clark & Cornish, 1983).

  • Explain The Theories: Rational Choice Theory Of Criminal Behavior

    Rational Choice theory says that criminal behavior is not only a response to social pressures and upbringing, but it is also a choice. The offender’s choices may not always be rational and may draw on previously established beliefs about their opportunities to commit acts of violence. This theory focuses on the effectiveness of interventions to decide how to best reduce the benefits of crime and increase the cost of criminal action. Rational Choice theory is in the classical school, which is based on the idea that individuals choose to engage in crime (Gosselin, pp. 67-68, 2014).

  • Criminology Theory: The Rational Choice Theory

    264 Words  | 1 Pages

    The rational choice theory went through different stages before shaping into a mature criminology theory. As criminologists noticed a more comprehensive perspective between how individual perceptions work in between costs and benefits of crime, it enhances the function of rational choice theory which it is able to give an insight on how criminals engage the thoughts of offending at its final stage. The 1960s and 1980s America were particularly chosen as examples of how rational choice theory could be used to explain crimes and chaotic social order often triggered by historical events, then changing its social norms at the time. These periods also witnessed important changes for the theory to evolve from adopting assumptions from other theories

  • Rational Choice Theory Of Delinquency

    In my opinion, rational choice theory is an interesting classical view of explaining why kids engage in delinquent behavior. This theory presented reasonable and clear explanations that are certainly representative for the youth population who engages in deviant behavior. I thought the strategies of controlling delinquency were definitely valid and practical. If many delinquents are captured and punished this can help set an example that the risk of getting captured is high and kids would be deterred. Therefore, punishment must be certain and reasonable. Choice theorists could have explained the group of delinquents who commit crimes for enjoyment or entertainment. For instance, kids from high socioeconomic backgrounds that are car thefts or

  • Deviance Theory In Criminology

    There are many theories that attempt to explain the cause of an individual’s criminal behavior. One such theory is rational choice theory as proposed by Cornish and Clarke (Paternoster & Bachman, 2001). The first mentions of rational choice theory can be traced back to the classical tradition developed by Cesare Beccaria and Jeremy Bentham in the eighteenth century. They believed that “man is a calculating animal” and has free will in making decisions (Browning et al., 2000, p.153). Since then, the theory has been expanded upon and extended to cover a wide range of crimes. Cornish and Clarke have elaborated their own approach into a rational choice perspective, in which they set out several key assumptions (Paternoster & Bachman, 2001). These assumptions include
