Within the past couple of decades, criminologists have developed different criminological theories that apply to the social behaviors and decisions of criminals. One of the earliest theories developed regarding criminality is the rational choice theory, in which describes the rationalization of determining if the rewards from committing the crime outweigh the consequences. In Scarver’s case, his decision to engage in criminal activities outweighed the potential consequences, or the other alternatives if he did not engage in such criminal activities. In addition to the rational choice theory, Scarver’s criminality can be related to the social disorganization theory, which describes the influence of one’s social and physical environment on one’s decision to commit a crime. Lastly, the strain theory can be related to Scarver’s criminality as well, as it is used to describe an individual who lacks the means to obtain such goals, and aspirations, so therefore, he or she engages in criminal activities to acquire the goals.

“Punishments intended to shame offenders for wrongdoing, popular throughout history, are once again on the rise” (Reutter, 2015). Shaming penalties attempt to humiliate and embarrass criminals to serve as a deterrence for criminal activity. Shaming has long been associated with methods of social control throughout the world’s history (Golson, 2011). The three main components of the criminal justice system; policing, the courts, and corrections have played a significant role in this social process, predominantly the correctional system and the courts, from which many of the shaming methods were disseminated (Golson, 2011).
