The Sociological Psychologism of Gabriel Tarde and his Relationship with Criminology and Criminal Politics

Abstract

Gabriel Tarde, points out that the motor that drives behavior is imitation, in fact, the starting point of much of our development and evolution as human beings: Copying the models that are presented to us. Criminality is a phenomenon observed, suggested and adapted by the rest of the inhabitants of such counterculture, the media, among other factors. The present revises these postulates and their relationship with crime prevention.
