Psychology and Crime are More Related than You Think!
Crime and psychology are very closely related. A person’s nature and character are heavily influenced by his mental makeup.
What does a criminal think before committing a crime? Why does a person make criminal choices when he could have chosen to walk out of it? Do all criminals think and act the same way? We will try to decode these questions and many more in the next few episodes on Criminal Psychology.
A person’s childhood plays a major role in developing his mental attitude. More often than not, a criminal’s childhood can open up the reasons for him committing a particular crime. This toxic behavior is often cyclical. How you may ask.
People who are subjected to mental or physical pain and torture as children are more likely to repeat the pattern in their offspring. The children then repeat the behavior of their parents. It is indeed a herculean task to break free from the toxic cycle.
An article published on IP Leaders by Sneha Mahawar, an associate at Ethos Legal Alliance mentions the following:
“People who experienced physical or mental abuse as children or antisocial behavior as adults are more likely to inflict these behaviors on their offspring, who will then frequently repeat the cycle. Children who are abused or neglected have a distinct worldview and perspective on the world; they are more prone to committing crimes as adults.”
In most cases, when someone commits a crime against another person, they are under the impression that they are getting authority similar to their abuser.
In addition to peer pressure, young boys and girls who get bullied or do not match the expectations of the contemporary world often take to substance abuse. Drug abuse, an illegal act in itself, can lead a person to commit bigger crimes.
Lack of early education is also a contributing factor to the mental makeup of a criminal.
Sneha, in her article, mentions:
“Crime is frequently used as a last resort by those who feel unappreciated or who claim they are not taken seriously to try to get the respect of others around them. The graph of someone who is more inclined to commit a crime clearly shows that lack of education also influences that likelihood.”
In the next episode, we will explore why children get into criminal activities.
