Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Positivism is a philosophical approach that originated from the Classic School of criminology during the 18th century. The Classic School believed that individuals were rational beings and therefore responsible for their actions, and that punishments should be proportionate to the crime committed. Positivism built on this foundation by seeking to apply scientific methods to the study of crime and criminal behavior.
