The Positive School is one of the two main schools of criminology. Like any school of criminology, the positive school seeks to explain the behavior of criminals. The development of this school began with the philosophical approach of the founder of positivism – Auguste Comte. The positive school was developed in Italy in the late 1900s by Cesare Lombroso (photo 1). Lombroso's student - Enrico Ferri, who provided the social implications of criminological positivism, defines the positive school as... "The positive school consists in: first studying the natural origin of a crime and then its social and legal consequences upon order to provide, through and legal means, the various remedies, which will have the maximum effect on the various causes that produce it. This is our premise, the innovation we have brought, not so much in our particular conclusion but in our research method." In modern humanistic society many people, who are related to the justice system, support the ideas of the school of positive criminology. This school has its own principles and is divided into three fundamental categories: biological, psychological and sociological. The principles of the positive school begin with the idea that criminal behavior is caused by material forces (cars, jewelry, houses, electronic devices, drugs, etc.) beyond. control of the individual (also called determinism). Determinism can be divided into two categories: hard determinism (it was used as an explanation only in capitalist society, it stated that poverty pushes people to commit crime) and soft determinism (poverty is one of the many factors that pushes people to commit a crime). crime). The positive school prefers to use natural definitions of crime. As the main research method used by this school...... half of the document ......ile Durkheim shows the positive aspects of crime: crime is normal and functional in primitive societies (crime is useful in some way ), but crime in advanced societies is pathological, unites people and acts as a catalyst for progress and change. “Anomie theory” also expresses the thought that greed is good for society, but if rapid social change occurs, greed becomes uncontrollable. Accordingly, the positive school includes three directions, and each of them includes many theories. Everyone expresses different opinions and points of view. Many theories are relevant nowadays, but some of them are no longer useful due to the specifics of a particular place and time. Few of these theories are very useful not only in criminology, but in psychology, economics, etc. Many people support the ideas of positive schooling in modern society.
