but also specific mental concerns, sexual preferences, force, bonding, and many other reasons. Research shows different criminological theories that can be associated with this criminal event. Noted in this writing is the labeling theory and the rational choice theory. With the labeling theory, it is broken

idea of just deserts where the individual has the right to be punished for the offenses committed. The get-tough rhetoric asserts that offenders need imprisonment to teach them a lesson and those criminal tendencies do not pay. The rational choice theory states that the efforts to curb further offending are costly. The proponents of the imprisonment as the form of punishment indicate it places an integral role in crime control. The cost of offenders begins after the arrest, sentencing, public

Choice Theory and Social structure theory are both based on a common implication that criminal activities are not a determinant of psychological, natural or environmental aspects affecting an individual and persuading him to commit the crime but rather people commit the criminal acts willfully and voluntarily. They engage in crime such as assaults, car thefts and burglary as per their own will, just as anyone could open up a grocery store to earn income or go to university to acquire more skill and

Reality Therapy “It is almost impossible for anyone, even the most ineffective among us, to continue to choose misery after becoming aware that it is a choice.” (Glasser) Reality therapy, devised by William Glasser in the 1960s, focuses on current behaviour and the choices people make in an attempt to satisfy their basic needs. Glasser trained as a psychoanalytical psychiatrist but became disillusioned with the methods used due to the constant examination of the client’s past to gain insight

of the models and theories for classroom management, these concepts can seem removed from hands-on experiences in the classroom and schoolyard. This essay aims to analyse three classroom management theories by highlighting the people involved, the key principles, the strengths and weaknesses of the models and summarises the similarities and differences between them. These are the Goal Centered Theory, the Choice Theory and the Assertive Discipline Theory. The Goal Centered Theory (Rudolph Dreikurs

criminal decides to commit a crime after weighing the benefits and disadvantages of engaging. In such a case, the decision to commit the crime is a rational one, and the best way to counter it is through a deterrence-based system. The rational choice theory assumes that humans are self-centered and the actions they undertake determine the consequences they incur. The position of rationality concept assumes that criminal behaviors are not different from the non-criminal ones, in that they determine

The primary goal of an educator is to prepare students for the “real world”. By implementing key concepts of Glasser’s Choice Theory and Fay & Funk’s Love and Logic theory, I believe this goal can become a reality in the classroom. When used together, these classroom management philosophies have the potential to benefit students in a variety of ways and engage them In learning. When utilized correctly, these strategies hold the promise of allowing teachers, like myself, to develop positive

ability to affect their life through the choices they make. William Glasser suggests most people’s unhappiness stems from the lack of meaningful relationships, and most relationships are either successful or a disaster based on the choices we make (Corey, 2013). Patients are able to positively or negatively impact their mental well-being by making choices that deepen their interpersonal relationships. Expanding on Glasser’s ideas, existentialism and the choices it offers, gives an individual the opportunity

When you begin to learn, and understand why a person might make the choices they do you begin a journey of compassion and open-mindedness. Not all views are the same and not all views are radically different, it’s the willingness to look at them all and gain perspective of your own that a counselor can find power within themselves. Each theory I will discuss has their own set of ideas and beliefs. Some are complex and some are simple, either way they weave a web through the role of the therapist

extending theories that have been around for some time. If they are not continuing work on an existing theory, they are developing a new one. Our class discussed five main theories. The theories we discussed in class are Rational Choice Theory, Trait Theory, Social Structure Theory, Social Process Theory, and Developmental Theory. Rational Choice Theory says that a person chooses to commit the crime based on if the reward outweighs the risk, regardless of the crime. Within this theory, there are
