Abstract

Criminal behavior entails an act that is unacceptable according to the laws of a given society . It is worth noting that there are different theories which attempt to explain such behaviors , how and why they occur . It therefore follows that criminology is the study of crime as it plays an important role in understanding the concepts of crime and how criminals think . On the other hand , a criminal justice system explains a series of events from the

time a crime was committed to the prosecution of the offender in question . It bears noting that criminal behavior has been studied to help in the formulation of policies and programs that ensure fair legal decisions and better crime prevention techniques
