The Deterrence theory The Deterrence theory can be considered the most effective in landlord accountability programs as the warning of punishment may prevent people from committing the crime and decrease the probability or level of offending in society. Punishment affects people to respect the rules and obligations. The theory makes offenders reflect on their actions taking into account the possible outcomes for them. For instance, as long as criminals are informed of the likelihood of a fine, they can compare the benefits and drawbacks of committing the crime. Another view of the modern state’s criminal policy is that a carefully calculated punishment should be invented for each offense to compensate for its consequences. It should be assumed that the deterrent effect depends on the level of discipline – the more severe the punishment, the better the law is enforced. Penalties are mainly related to the sentencing system; they have a preventive effect on crime. The theory of social disorganization The theory of social disorganization provides an explanation of crime at the social level, making the psychology of the criminal dependent on society’s processes of functioning as a whole.

In low areas affected by crime, it is much easier to become a criminal: learn the appropriate techniques, find accomplices. The Reintegrative Shaming theory According to the Reintegrative Shaming theory, guilt lies at the base of the social regulation of crime against a person or property. Conversely, instilling a sense of reintegrative shame can become a force shaping society. The concept interpretation is based on the message that the crime should be condemned, not the criminal. It involves a procedure or ceremony of forgiveness, through which the deviant is reunited with a society of law-abiding citizens. The most potent manifestation of reintegrative shame is the perpetrator’s condemnation of the crime, with an appropriate apology to the victim. Criminal obtains the possibility to break with the past, the right to start life is granted only to the criminal who expressed sincere remorse for his crime, apologized to the victim, and repaired the damage caused by him.
