14.2. classical criminology

-the proposers of this model believed that there should be the separation of powers in criminal law due to the potential for abuse and misuse. The essence of crime was the harm that it did to society. Therefore, it is better to prevent crimes than to punish them and from this an idea arose that it is better to let a guilty man go free than to punish an innocent man.

15.3. need

-Needs/motives are the driving/starting point of motivation. An unsatisfied need creates tension that stimulates drives within the individual. These drives generate a search behavior to achieve particular goals that will satisfy the need and lead to a reduction of tension.
