1. Explain in your own words in three sentences for each concept, what the
following concepts mean, provide an in-text reference from any source
for each of them, where these are discussed.
1.1. Theory in criminal justice field (10)
In the field of criminal justice, a theory is a systematic explanation or
framework that helps us understand and interpret various aspects of crime,
law enforcement, and the criminal justice system. These theories often seek
to answer questions about why crimes occur, how they can be prevented,
and how society should respond to criminal behavior. For instance, in
"Criminal Justice: A Brief Introduction" by Frank Schmalleger (2019),
various theories like the strain theory and social control theory are discussed
to explain criminal behavior and its societal impacts.
1.2. Individual – and situational moderators
Individual and situational moderators refer to factors or variables that
influence the relationship between two or more other variables in a given
context. In the context of criminal justice, individual moderators might
include personal characteristics or traits that affect how a person responds to
a particular legal situation. Situational moderators could involve
circumstances or conditions that alter the impact of certain interventions or
policies. You can find discussions on individual and situational moderators
in various research articles and textbooks related to criminology and
criminal justice, such as "Criminology: Theories, Patterns, and Typologies"
by Larry J. Siegel (2019).
