Question

•Discuss your first theory(Rational Theory) and how criminal justice responses may be formed based on the assumptions of this theory.

Answer 1

First, you need to understand rational theory. Then you need to decide how criminal justice responses may relate to this theory.

Answer 2

Thank you, but where can I find this information. I understand Rational theory is based on the assumptions that people choose their behaviors freely and are motivated by avoiding pain and the pursuit of pleasure. I just can not find information on how criminal justice responses may relate to this theory

Answer 3

Criminal justice generally punishes guilty people by taking away their pursuit of pleasure, thereby producing pain.
