Positivist school (criminology)
ID: positivist-school-criminology
The Positivist school of criminology emerged in the late 19th to early 20th century as a response to classical criminology, which emphasized free will and rationality as the primary drivers of criminal behavior. Instead, positivism focuses on the idea that criminal behavior is determined by factors outside of an individual’s control, such as biological, psychological, and social influences.
