Abstract

Evolutions of humankind and crime have almost similar besides the human efforts to ensure a peaceful social setup. Still, despite intensive efforts, the eradication of crimes from the communities of this world could not be made possible. The ancient history of legislation from the Stone Age till to date is also a shred of evidence that from the code of Hammurabi - Babylon times to Ten Commandments, from Megna Carta to the Universal declaration of human rights, frequent conventions and implications of public as well as international private law were the part of accomplishing the desired goals but in vain. Still, unfortunately, what could not achieve the desired results by having implications of the adopted approaches introduced and implicated as Classical, Neoclassical, and Positivist theories. Crimes enhance social vulnerability. This study will explore the reality of how criminals have become brawny as a threat to peace and security in the modern world and how they can overcome the situation with the practical implication of criminological theories. This study will also explore whether criminological approaches are sufficient or if any additional legislation or reformed practice is needed to attain the desired rehabilitative errands for sustainable development goals.
