In general, classical school of criminology uses subjective factors to define criminal activities while positivist school of criminology uses a more objective method, such as scientific investigations. To simplify: classical's perspective: a person him/herself makes the decision on criminal activity while positivist: believes that certain traits present in a human being affects criminal behavior.
