Up to this point, we have learned the foundations of Criminology. It can be argued that the field would not exist if it had not been for the contributions of Cesare Beccaria. He is considered by criminologists and sociologists as the founding father of criminology. However, probably his greatest contribution to the science was never truly researched. Now it is time for you to make your contribution to the field.
For this research paper, you will write an essay based on the following quote from Cesare Beccaria: “The surest but most difficult way to prevent crimes is by perfecting education.” The research paper should answer the following questions:
If society was more educated, do you believe crime rates would decrease? Why or why not?
Do you believe that education could be perfected to the point where people turn away from crime? Why or why not?
Have your previous educational experiences deterred you from engaging in criminal activity?
Use two (2) academic sources that help prove your stance (Peer reviewed articles, books, newspaper etc.)
