...Summary of “Chapter 2” Summary of “Chapter 2: The Search for the ‘Criminal Man’” “Chapter 2” explores the early theories of crime,and it covers spiritualism, classical thinking, and positivism. Spiritualism believes that criminals are possessed by evil spirits or demons. This approach, however, produced problems in determining the innocence of the accused. For example, trial by battle is based on the belief that whoever God favored wins and is the innocent one (Lilly, Cullen, & Ball, 2011, p.19). The weakness of this trial is that strong warriors can continue doing criminal deeds, since they tend to win....

Originally, the theory was proposed not to distinguish between utility and pleasure but nowadays, whenever this theory is used, the utility is understood as something that has no connection with pleasure.

There is lack of clarity about what constitutes pleasure or happiness and the standards of happiness vary among humans and animals. Despite humans have higher standards of happiness than animals, yet they would not want to become animals to be easily pleased. People knowingly indulge in acts of lower good...

...Summary of “Chapter Seven: The Irony of Intervention” In “Chapter Seven: The Irony of Intervention” of Criminological Theory: Context and Consequences, Lilly, Cullen, and Ball (2011) explored the theory of labeling. Labeling theory asserts that state intervention, especially in the form of labeling people as criminals and ex-convicts, only reinforces criminal attitudes and behaviors. It rejects the idea that criminality is inherent to some human beings. Furthermore, labeling theorists use the statistics of imprisoned minorities to describe racial disparity, which government intervention intensifies.
Labeling theory underscores that how...
