Features: Crime is an ancient topic in human society, and criminology, as a young discipline studying the causes of crime and the prevention and control of crime, has only a hundred years of history so far. From modern positivism criminology to the criminological sociology represented by the United States, these formed the mainstream schools of criminological research before the 1960s. They coexist with other schools, and during this period, numerous criminological theoretical models, research paradigms, and brilliant academic masters emerged, achieving unprecedented prosperity. Although since the 1960s, due to the rapid changes in the world situation, criminology has also experienced what is known as a period of confusion and wandering, research in criminology has gradually moved out of this in recent years, and has once again played its role in preventing crime in the new context. Criminological theory is an important theory for explaining, studying, and preventing crime. Academic masters have all strived to construct their own criminological theories, which reflects both their conscience and ambition. For this reason, criminology has been known since its inception for its numerous schools and diverse theoretical models.
