Причинность преступности в Республике Молдова [Articol]

Abstract

All the numerous existing concepts and theories of the causes of crime come down to the following main directions or schools: biological and sociological. A person's behavior is determined by the cultural norms of the social group to which he belongs, and contradictions between the cultural norms of different social groups cause crimes. When studying the causes of crime, its conditions are also considered - phenomena that do not directly give rise to the commission of crimes, but contribute to their commission and the existence of crime (for example, circumstances of place, time, physical qualities of an object, etc.). Since the essence of the process of determining crime is a complex of causes and conditions of crime, it is often the totality of causes and conditions in their unity that are called determinants of crime. Identifying and responding to crime conditions is absolutely essential. Depending on the specific situation, the same circumstance can act both as a cause of crime and as its condition.
