Criminologists, first being initially human, and second having a great sense of curiosity, ask that question as well, and accordingly have come up with several reasons called theories, why people break the law.

[ send me this paper ]
In 7 pages, the author discusses three significant challenges confronting corrections in the 21st century. "The criminal justice system is comprised of the police, the courts, and the department of corrections. The criminal justice system is a checks and balance system, in that each component defines the others. These components work independently and together in order to ensure that laws are kept, that people tried for crimes are given their Constitutional rights, and that those found guilty are either punished or rehabilitated or both. The field of corrections has three significant challenges facing it in the 21st century: prison overcrowding, limited funds, and protecting society from criminals by imprisonment and/or rehabilitation."

Criminal Sentencing: White Black and Mental
[ send me this paper ]
(8pp). What we will be looking at in this discussion are basically two issues that have somehow become enmeshed: According to Davis (1998), more than 70 percent, of the imprisoned population, are people of color. It is rarely acknowledged, that the fastest growing group of prisoners are black women, and that Native American prisoners are the largest group per capita. Approximately five million people - including those on probation and parole -- are directly under the surveillance of the criminal justice system. And according to Ditton (1999) sixteen percent of those incarcerated in state systems are mentally ill. One of the questions that then arises from this data is, are the white mentally ill sentenced to incarceration at a different ratio than people of color? Bibliography lists 8 sources.
