The theory that best explains violent crimes behavior

    The theory that best explains violent crimes behavior would be the rational choice theory. The rational choice theory is when the criminal chooses that the benefits of the crime outweigh the cost (Burke, Carter, Fedorek, Morey, Burri-Rutz, & Sanchez , 2019). I believe that he best theory that explains the non-violent crime is the classical criminology theory because this theory is when criminal makes a choice to break the law based on their free will and does not take into consideration their mental status (Major Criminology Theories and How They Affect Policy, 2021).
