on others)

Another Italian authority in criminology, who developed a concept of the natural
crime and defined it as a violation of the prevalent sentiments of pity and probity.

position that the only way to understand crime was to study it by scientific
methods.

POSITIVIST AND CLASSICAL SCHOOL - ACT THAT VIOLATE THE BASIC VALUES
OF SOCIETY
-The period of Scientific Study of crimes and criminal behavior
The Positivist School of Criminology rejected the Classical School's idea that all crime resulted
from a choice that could potentially be made anyone. Though they did not disagree with the
Classical School that most crime could be explained through "human nature," they argued that
the most serious crimes were committed by individuals who were "primitive" or "atavistic"--that
is, who failed to evolve to a fully human and civilized state. Crime therefore resulted not from
what criminals had in common with others in society, but from their distinctive physical or
mental defects.

file the complaint with the inferior courts (Municipal Trial Courts or the Municipal Circuit Trial
Courts). The judges of these inferior courts act as quasi-prosecutors only for the purpose of the
preliminary investigation. Once a prima facie case has been determined, the complaint is
forwarded to the City or Provincial Prosecutor’s Office, which will review the case. When the
complaint has been approved for filing with the Regional Trial Court, the court issues an arrest
warrant for the accused once the information has been filled.
COURTS: The courts provide opportunity for the prosecution to present evidence and establish
proof of criminal guilt of the accused. During trial, that the accused is given time in the court to
disprove the accusation against him. Our criminal justice system abides by the Constitutional
presumption that any person accused of a crime is presumed innocent unless proven otherwise.
This means that the courts must determine the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt
based on the strength of the evidence presented by the prosecution. If there is any reasonable
doubt that the accused commit a crime, he has to be acquitted.
CORRECTIONS: The fourth pillar takes over once the accused, after having been found guilty,
is meted out the penalty for the crime he committed. He can apply for probation or he could be
turned over to a non-institutional or institutional agency or facility for custodial treatment and
rehabilitation. The offender could avail of the benefits of parole or executive clemency once he

is carried out either in the municipal, provincial or national penitentiary depending on the length
of the sentence meted out.
