Do not quote the textbook. Please answer all questions in this discussion. Attached are copies of chapter 3 from textbook. Thank you. 

Discussion:

What are the major changes brought about by the classical thinkers?  Is there any aspect of the early positivists that you think might still be useful and applicable to modern criminology?  If humans are primarily motivated by the hedonistic calculus, is simple deterrence the answer to the crime problem? What advantages (or disadvantages) does positivism offer us over classicism?
