There are two kind of analysis in relation to causation of crime i.e. causation of crime under Biological theories and causation of crime under sociological theories. These theories have been criticized in light of one of the easiest crime committed that is cybercrime in this modern world with use of advanced technologies, it is very difficult to detect crime committed by cyber criminals. These different approaches of various theorists were rejected in light of cybercrime. Different approaches under biological theory do not meet the expectation as defined by Lambroso under biological traits found under criminals. So this approach of biological theory been criticized in relation to cybercrime. Even under sociological approach of Sutherland who described the causation of crime is due to societal pressure was also rejected in light of cybercrime.
