Introduction:
It is important to take into account certain conditions or criteria in order to establish causality. Three criteria can be used in nomothetic explanation to determine that an event A causes another event B. The criteria for nomothetic explanation are temporal precedence and covariation. Important distinctions between sufficient and necessary causes are made. It’s also important to understand the concept of reductionism, correlation and their use in criminal justice. The paper will cover each one of these issues in detail.
