Critical Thinking Exercise

  Classical Criminology Research - The Classical School of criminology has had a tremendous impact on criminal justice, the rejection of extreme tortures, and criminological thought.

Do you think the death penalty fits with the Classical School of thought? Why or why not? Do you think offenders freely choose to commit crimes or are they pushed and pulled into it?
