Abstract
Theories of criminality are derived from distinct images of human behavior. A theory's scientific value is a function of the validity of these images. Six types of criminality theory are distinguishable on the basis of their imagery. Integrative theories, which evoke a complex image to unite data underlying diverse monistic theories, are more useful than pluralistic theories, which preserve images. Criticisms of differential association as an integrative theory are avoided by a differential identification theory of criminality.
