2. How can theories help us to understand criminal behavior or to design strategies intended to control such behavior?

‘The advantages of enlarging the EU after the end of the cold war were significant for its member states.’ How valid is this assessment? The enlargement of the EU was positive for both member states, the worlds trading and applicant states.

Jeremy Bentham first proposed is theory of Utilitarianism on the basis for social reform. While Bentham may have failed in this aspect, he did set in stone the foundations for future ethicists such as J.S Mill and H. Sidgwick to expand on his theory and explore it in further detail. Bentham’s proposed that an action’s moral worth can easily be determined by the use of the Hedonic Calculus; this formula takes into account the intensity, density, duration and the number of people affected and places a numerical value of the potential outcome. This may be seen as a very mathematical approach to try and measure what it ultimately an abstract concept like happiness or pleasure, and subsequently critics of Bentham’s version can be used to justify acts such as torture, gang rape and murder. An example of when Act Utilitarianism could be used to decide the best course of action would be in a group of people, for example, choosing whether or not to have red wine or white wine.
