Course/Module description:
Criminological theories deal with the question ‘why some individuals break the law whether others not’. This course tries to answer this question while focusing on onset of the criminal conduct, the individuals’ persistence in crime, and their desistance from criminality. The forth parts of the course allow to examine the different aspects of life course trajectories. The first part provides an overview of the life course theories, the age-crime curve, and the relevant research methods. The second part discusses childhood factors and elaborate the biological and familial influences on future criminal life style. The third part elaborates the adolescence aspects, when the criminal activities reach its peak. The fourth part discuses criminality in adulthood and theories that explain desistance from crime.

1. Providing knowledge of factors that influence criminality during the life course.
