Sunday 12 February RNW - NEWS AND ANALYSIS FROM THE NETHERLANDS IN 10 LANGUAGES, WORLDWIDE 24/7 ON RADIO, TV AND ONLINE
Hiram 20 November 2009 - 12:11am
"What does a criminologist know about it?"........He studies all the aspects of crimes and he then deduces why crimes take place. 1. Some criminal behaviours are learned and rewarded by either a positive or negative reinforcers. 2. Some people who commit crimes do it without knowing they have committed a crime. For an example, you and some of your friends might want to hike across Iraq and accidently enter into Iran accidently. Did you mean to cross the border on purpose and violate Iran's borders?. No, but you and your friends are still criminals 3. Some people have tumors on their brains and therefore do not realise their actions are criminals. 4. Criminologist need to study all aspects of crime in order to better understand why people intentionally violate socities laws. Just because governments makes criminal and civil laws doesn't make the laws morally right. For example, if Wilders could make it against the law for Muslim women to wear headscarves in public, he would make those women wearing them criminals if they violated the law. No, Muslin woman should ever take off her scarve in public no matter what the dictates. She would be better off in one of Wilders' jail then to comply to an immoral law. There are other examples but the headscarves will do.
