Complete 2 pages APA formatted article: Lombroso. Sociology of Crime: Lombroso I agree with Lombroso’s first two types of criminology, which that there are the criminals that are born into alife of crime due to inherent traits and pathological factors and the criminals that can be considered criminally insane, which is to say that they have disorders that cause them to commit crimes. I do not agree with the criminal type known as ciminaloids. This criminal type states that people who have no special or mental characteristics will engage in crimes under “certain circumstances” due to their mental and emotional makeup. I disagree with this criminal type because I believe that, regardless of mental and emotional makeup, more often than not people find some other way to express this mental and emotional state.

The theory that I deem to be more relevant in today’s society and in criminal justice is the theory that states that criminals are born into a criminal life. If parents and family members before has engaged in criminal activity, there is a good chance that a child born into that family will do the same. Sometimes, especially in regard to criminal activity, it becomes difficult to break that chain of criminal activity. Unlike Beccaria’s concept of free will, when a child is born into a family with a criminal background, they often have no other choice.
