Document Summary

Part four challenges and confrontations: january 10, 2017. Three major crimes: causes, contexts and consequences and sometimes contests. Levels of analysis: process and structure - the process of crime committing is a structure with which it takes place. Crime is analysed based on situation, organizational/institution (rules), ideological ideological structures of thought institutional/organized processes --- situational encounters. Determinism: there are factors external that don"t allow for moral behaviour. Free will: you decide on the basis of risk, probabilty of being caught to do something. Our system is not interested in the motivation for such actions. For example, killing another human being is not a crime if it is done in self defense or of an enemy during wartime. The act must be motivated out of a guilty mind that has freely chosen to do evil. The free will position-- freely made choices as being the major determinants of both our earthly and eternal conditions.
