Custom Button in Custom Controller Help

I need help with the controller side of this custom button.  I have created a custom vf page that is similar to the view all button on Activity History.  I am trying to create a Back or Cancel button and I am not sure what the syntax should look like.  The vf page comes from a button on the Case related list on the Account page. So I am trying to go from a custom case page to a standard account page.

 

This is my custom controller.  I am not sure what to do in my account query so that when the Cancel method calls it the account page is returned.  Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

public class ViewAllIncidents {
	
	public Account acct{
		get{
            if(acct == null){
            	acct = [SELECT a.id, a.name 
            			FROM Account a 
            			WHERE id =: apexpages.currentpage().getParameters().get('id')];
            }
            return acct;
        } 
    	set;
    }
	
    public ViewAllIncidents() {
    	
   		this.theIncidents = [SELECT c.Account.Name, c.CaseNumber, c.Status, c.due_date__c, c.subject, c.Contact.Email, c.description 
   							 FROM Case c 
   							 WHERE c.AccountId = :ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('acctId')];
  
    }
    public List<Case> theIncidents { get; set; }
    
    public PageReference cancel() {
		//cancel method to return to the account detail page 
		return new ApexPages.StandardController(acct).view();
    }
}

Hey
 
Try this,
 
public String aId = apexpages.currentpage().getParameters().get('id'); 
 
 public PageReference cancel() {
		//cancel method to return to the account detail page 
		return new PageReference('/'+aId);
    }
 
The return new ApexPages.StandardController(acct).view(); call can only be used from within a standard controller extension.

Thanks for the Response!
 
It was very helpful, I made a slight tweak and now it works exactly as it should.
 
Here is what I put in my controller:
 
 
public class ViewAllIncidents {
	
    public ViewAllIncidents() {
    	
   		this.theIncidents = [SELECT c.Account.Name, c.CaseNumber, c.Status, c.due_date__c, c.subject, c.Contact.Email, c.description, c.Contact.Phone, c.Contact.Name 
   							 FROM Case c 
   							 WHERE c.AccountId = :ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('acctId')];
  
    }
    public List<Case> theIncidents { get; set; }
    
    public string aId = apexpages.currentpage().getParameters().get('acctid'); 
    public PageReference cancel() {
		//cancel method to return to the account detail page 
		return new PageReference('/'+ aId);
    }
}
