Philosophy of crime

The philosophy of crime explores fundamental questions about crime, including what constitutes a crime, why people commit crimes, and how society should respond. It examines the moral and legal principles underlying laws, considers issues of justice and fairness, and debates the nature of responsibility and free will. Essentially, it seeks to understand how laws reflect societal values and how they can best address human behavior, balancing rights, punishments, and rehabilitation to promote justice and social order.
