Steps involved in the steps in criminological theory building are-
1. A Correlation Is Observed
2. Questions Are Raised about Causes
3. Theory Is Proposed
4. Theory-Based Understanding Is Achieved
5. A Theory-Based Hypothesis Develops
6. The Hypothesis is Tested
7. Theory-Based Social Policy Results
Sociological research in criminology concludes that community has influences on the person in order to commit crimes. For example various social learning theory maintains that individuals learn criminal behavior from the people encompassing them, and the social conflict theory also assumes that class warfare is the root cause which is responsible for the crime in society.

2. makes people aware of the injustices in their own countries
3. power of shame while sometimes underestimated, does work. maybe its dna maybe its psychology but when humam rights violations are exposed things do improve
4. understanding that the power of justice is stronger than any cynicism
