Crime According to Freud, Durkheim and Marx

Abstract: A 12 page paper discussing these theorists' views on crime. Of course Durkheim's position is clear, but Freud and Marx had greater interest in other areas. Freud's views on individuals' behavior and theory of psychopathology can still be seen as being useful, though less so than when Freud synthesized his theories a century ago. Of the three, Marx is less relevant. He maintains that all will be happier as classes disappear, and the reader can infer that crime will diminish as well. We now know that is not a valid theory. Bibliography lists 13 sources.
