What are some of the reasons why people obey criminal laws?

I love this question and its a great one to ask, a criminologist posed the same question, Hirschi. He said criminologists were not getting the answers by asking Why people commit crime, rather they should ask why they don't commit crime:

From my essay which view people's decision to offend:

As crime is viewed as being a choice, there is a strong emphasis on deterrence as seen in classicism, usually through the risk of punishment. In deciding whether to commit a crime, potential offenders will ponder between the ‘profitable, useful or enjoyable’ pleasures from committing the crime (Rock, in Maguire, Morgan and Reiner, 2000: 56) with sanction if dealt with by the criminal justice system. As a result, a Hirschi stated, control theory is not concerned with why people commit crimes, but why they don’t (in Maguire et al, 2000: 57). He provides that four elements make up a bond that diverts people from criminal activity: an attachment to others including respecting them; commitment to other activities and to the community; involvement in lawful activities and belief in the significance and necessity of society’s legal norms.

Incarceration (oh i hope i spelt that right) locking the person up majority of times does meet its objectives as locking the person up keeps them away from society, and reduces the amount of criminals walking on our streets. But this can be argued against with the example recently in the paper where a man who was jailed for raping someone, committed rape again whilst in prison....so therefore locking someone may also not meet its objectives as the person is still harming people and committing further crimes.

"With reference to human rights answer, why are these penalties no longer available: capital punishment, corporal punishment"

good answer manifestation!
capital and corporal punishments infringe human rights. The last man to be hanged was in 1969 in melbourne
corporal punishment includes crucifixion, genital mutilation etc
these infringe peoples human rights and arent seen as morally right
