Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the importance of synthesized theories to the study of criminality and how they work to help prevent crime and to help understand the criminal mind. It looks at how the need to understand criminals has been in the minds and hearts of criminologist and police officers for countless years and how extending this understanding to the minds of others will help neighborhood watch programs tremendously.

From the Paper:

"Synthesized theories have been around in the field of criminology for quite some time. This is largely because they work well in helping criminologists discover some of the hidden reasons and causes behind crime. In order have a full understanding of synthesized theories, it is important to explain two things: the concept behind synthesized theories, and their importance to the study of criminology. Knowing these two things will help individuals determine characteristics that might make people into criminals."
