The Theory of Violentization is an innovative criminological theory that has only subsisted within the last 12 years in the field. The goal is to examine how these theories apply to abrasive and aggressive behaviors that take place within the public school systems throughout the United States. The purpose of assessing criminological theory pertains to reasons regarding motive, deterrence, conditioning, and behavior modifications alike.
