Assignment title Psychology and Criminal Behaviour
Purpose of this assignment
Examine how psychological approaches and theories relate to criminal behaviour. Understand how people behave
individually and within organisations the causes and impact of prejudice and discrimination. This assignment places
emphasis on developing a greater understanding how psychology influences behaviour and the impact this has on
criminals, victims and public service organisations.
Scenario
In your role as a consultant psychologist working for the police you have been tasked with creating a number of
documents to advance the professional use of psychology in the police, which may also be of use to other public
services.
Task 1 (1.1, 1.2, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, M1 and D1) - Explaining Criminal Behaviour
In your role as a psychology consultant you have been asked to create a written training package for staff working a
a public services training school on key psychological approaches and how these and other factors can affect criminal
behaviour.
Within this training package you must define psychology and review key psychological theories (at least three) and
their validity in explaining criminal behaviour. You need to explain how other fact ors (at least three) such as social
circumstances and other influences may cause crime, and evaluate the effect crime has on victims and society.
Guidance:
Psychological theories could include: cognitive (e.g. Loftus), behaviourist (e.g. Skinner), biological (e.g. Lombroso),
personality (e.g. Eysenck), psychodynamic (e.g. Freud), social learning (e.g. Bandura), or developmental perspective
(e.g. Bowlby).
Other factors could include: socioeconomic pressures (e.g. poverty, drugs, education), influences (e.g. peers, religion
media), individual factors (e.g. repeat victimisation).
Effects on victims and society could include: victim surveys (e.g. Crime Survey for England and Wales), costs (e.g.
rehabilitation, policing, courts), organisations (e.g. victim support, social services).
This information should be used to complete learning outcomes 1 and 4.
To achieve M1 you must show that you have applied relevant theories and techniques to the explanation of criminal
behaviour.
To achieve D1 you must justify your conclusions about the effectiveness of psychological and other explanations in
explaining criminal behaviour.
5. Word count: 1800
Accurately cite references throughout your work. Provide full references in Harvard APA format in a separate section
titled ‘References’, at the end of your work.
Task 2 (2.1 2.2 2.3 M2 and D2) - Psychology for Individuals and Organisations
In your role as a psychology consultant you have been asked to create an information booklet about how psychology
can be used to benefit individuals and a public services organisation.
Within this booklet you must outline how psychology can benefit individuals (in at least two ways). You must also
explain how psychological knowledge of group dynamics may impact on a public service (in at least two ways) and
how psychological knowledge can be used in conflict management.
This information should be used to complete learning outcome 2.
Guidance:
Individual benefits could include: learning styles (e.g. Kolb, Honey & Mumford), learning theories (e.g. Piaget,
Bandura), behaviourism, communication techniques (e.g. assertiveness).
Group dynamics could include: group tensions, in groups and out groups (e.g. Guzzo), group performance (e.g.
Tavistock Institute), conformity.
Conflict management could include: attitudes, self-knowledge, strategies, models (e.g. Thomas & Kilmann), benefits
and costs.
To achieve M2 you must show how relevant psychological theories and techniques can be applied to individuals,
organisations and conflict management.
To achieve D2 you must make recommendations for how these psychological theories and techniques could be used
practice, to benefit individuals, organisations and conflict management.
Word count: 1200
Accurately cite references throughout your work. Provide full references in Harvard APA format in a separate section
titled ‘References’, at the end of your work.
Task 3 (3.1 3.2 3.3 M3 and D3) – Prejudice and Discrimination
In your role as a psychology consultant you have been asked to write and conduct an electronic presentation for a
local police (or other public service) training school on prejudice and discriminat ion.
You will need to complete a presentation lasting at least 10 minutes (in any electronic format), explaining causes and
consequences of prejudice and discrimination. You will need to include definitions, explanations and examples for
types of prejudice and discrimination. Include self-reflection of your own experience or values held. Use theories or
behavioural models (at least two) to inform your presentation.
You may use typed notes (to be submitted) to supplement your presentation.
Guidance:
Causes and consequences could include: types of prejudice/discrimination, situations, individual’s behavioural contro
other’s behaviour, external causes.
Self-reflection could include: values, beliefs and judgements, other influences (e.g. media, peers, family), stereotype
Theories and models could include: behavioural responses to discrimination or dominance, coping strategies, GW
Allport, Stephan and Stephan, Devine, Plant and Busswell.

skills
Body language skills can
improve an individual’s social
reading signals towards co-
workers or social endeavours.
This can unlock social
infrastructure by
understanding various
message clusters which
indicate an individual’s
emotions and metal status.
Body language is known as the
most important trait of
communication which
consumes more than 50% of
social communication.
Politicians will use body’s
language to domineer there
political opponents. For the

Cognitive Psychology
B.F skinner- Operating
conditioning and free will conducted
on clade columbidaes displayed the
actions of operant conditioning. This
reinforces the on clade columbidaes
towards obeying movement and
instructions on demand. Operating
conditioning can also be used upon
Homo sapiens for example a human
will never work towards anything
without a goal in front of the
individual’s transcendence. Economic
or career path transcendence is only
just two of the goals that human
aspire to climb within their life time.
All Binominal nomenclature entities

drawn towards food substance or
shelters without these vital entities
are metal state or are purpose of
hierarchical endeavours will be the
victim of extinction. Homo sapiens in
the 20th century are known for the
consumption of commercialism
towards the state of western culture.
E.g. materialism which is known for
the birth of capitalism. Originations
will prey upon pathological
shopaholics for the purpose of the
customer regurgitating their need for
materialism. In fact people mirror B.F
skinners pigeons by attending a
ritual throughout their lives. The
pigeons where kept in a small box but
are well as Homo sapiens kept in a

Classic conditioning
Pavlov’s Dogs
Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov conducted an
accidental experiment on dog which was later to
be known as classic conditioning. Pavlov noticed
that dogs salivated over food when Pavlov entered
the room. Pavlov began to conduct an experiment
on a germen shepherd. A tube was connected onto
the dog’s neck which was implemented towards
catching the dog’s saliva. Pavlov’s belied that the
dog’s salvia was produced by a fixed nervous
reflex. After hours of monitoring it was conformed
that the dog dewed when the dog had contacted
food. Pavlov named the reposed the salvation Felix.
Pavlov’s experiment started to discombobulate
after the dog salivated into the tube before the
experiment was conducted. Pavlov then placed
screens around the dog for the purpose of blocking
his eye sight. Pavlov then introduced a stimulus
towards the dog’s senses by the use of a ticking
metronome. Food upon a dog dish was placed
threw a hole between the screens. At first the dog
dripped saliva inside the tube when the food
appeared. But after a number of experiments the
dog began to connect the sound of the metronome
towards the indication that food would arrive
within seconds. The sound of the metronome
stared to make the dog produce salvia. Other
metronomes where later on produced into the
experiment and yet again the dogs stimulus began
to salivate over the sounds of the metronomes.
Producing 3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine and
euphoria within the dogs cerebral cortex
processing information that the dog will receive
food upon the sound of the metronome.

Group Dynamics
By Sigmund Freud
The Behaviour theory of group Dynamics
conducted by Sigmund Freud (1856-
1939) on group psychology and the
Analysis of the ego. Chapter x of the
theory summarises the group and the
primal Horde. Freud mentions that (the
conjecture of Charles Darwin to the
effect that the primitive form of human
society was that of a horde ruled over
despotically by a powerful male). This
unlocks the theory of the Alpha male in
monkeys which mirrors Homo sapien
traits. The Alpha male holds the
psychological totalitarianism by
controlling the group’s common
direction and human emotions. This type
of behaviourism summarises the
knowledge of an organizations
leadership style in this case the
totalitarian manger or Boss whom
controls the organizations
infrastructure. By ruling under
autocracy which is mostly used within
political systems to endeavour
dictatorship mechanisms within society.
Organizations can use Sigmund Freud’s
Analysis of the ego for the purpose of
identifying a leadership style which can
rule the masses without empathy or
feeling towards the individuals the
Manger or Boss is leading.

Group Dynamics Part 2
By Sigmund Freud and Gustave Le Bon
Sigmund Freud’s theory of Group Dynamics can be
also found within chapter II of Sigmund Freud’s book
on Le Bon’s Description of the group mind. Gustave Le
Bon a social psychologist, sociologist, anthropologist
inventor, and abecedarian physicist. Elaborates an
infrastructure of physiological group conformity. By
summarising an individual’s characteristics within a
chosen group when an individual joins a group the
individuals mind will feel, think, and act if that
individual where in the state of isolation. An
individual with heterogeneous traits will conform to
shear unity towards their chosen group. This will
enforce conformity towards a person’s mind changing
their actions or systematic ideology. Le Bon explains
that an individual’s feeling or ideas do not in the
slightest fact transform themselves into acts except in
the case of individuals forming a group. Freud
elaborates on Le Bon theory by taking it in liberty to
summarise that Le Bon’s theory does not mention that
an individual joining a conformed group are formed
in unity then there must be some type of element
which draws that individualto conform towards that
chosen group. And that the bound between the
individual and group must accurately define the
individual and group characteristics. This theory Le
Bon summarises connects towards co-worker
conformity which mirrors mundane American high
school movies. For example the Stanger arrives onto
the school grounds in this theoretical summery. The
individual actions identity’s with group leaders and
this allows the individualto conform which group
dynamics if that individual is accepted towards that
sub-culture. Work relationships maintain
organizational independence which develops
friendship within the establishment creating an
anatomy of loyal workers help one another
throughout their time with their chosen work buddy’s
or sub-culture.

Group tensions
By Lawrence Frey and Kevin Barge
Lawrence Frey and Kevin Barge
theory of managing group life:
communication in decision-making
groups (1998). This explains a
collection of group behaviour when
team members are given a task
towards accomplishing their goal. A
group member struggling with a
particular task will go through four
stages of group life (entering,
encountering, engaging and ending)
an individual within a chosen group
will be torn between dimensions of
two ideas which are equally valid but
also dispute with each other creating
group tension. A hypothetical
example can relate towards an
individual entering a room the
individual is assigned towards a
group of five. The group is given a
task towards building a rocket ship
for their science class. To make the
rocket ship fly they are given two
elements bio alcohol CnH2n+OH and
Biodiesel. The team members
verbally fight over who takes charge
of the Task Bob has a PHD in Biofuel
and Harry has a Diploma in
engineering. This summarises the
theory two rival elements clash no
matter what their options are.
The theory of group tensions can help
organizations understand the
knowledge behind group debates.
Every individual will quarrel about
any decision if there are two sides
towards the assigned task.
24. 2.2
The Theory of Conformity
Richard crutchfield (1955) Crutchfiled conducted a team of 5
participants side by side within individual booths with a panel
of lights and switches in front of their person. An individual
set of lights was set to be illuminated for the purpose of
indicating the responses of 4 participants. Another set of
switches provided the provided the test subjects with the
means of giving their own responses. The test subjects were
also giving multiple choice questions quoted by Crutchfiled
“The slides call for various kinds of judgements-lengths of
lines areas of figures, logical completion of number series,
vocabulary items, estimates of the opinions of others,
expressions of his own attitudes on issues, expressions of his
own preferences for line drawings……” The test subject where
assigned to always give their response last, having already
seen the supposed responses of the other 4. The lights where
actually manipulated by the experimenter to create a bogus
majorly of responses. Over 600 subjects from different
backgrounds participated in the test Including student’s
women and army officers for 3 days.
The results
46% conforming towards the incorrect majority
response when asked to compare the size of a circle
and a star –the circle was much larger
37% of the army officers agree with a bogus majority
statement that they would not make a good leader-
having all said privately beforehand that they
believed that they would make good leaders
58% of the student test subjects agreed with bogus
majorly statement
The results mirrored the Asch experiment as 30%
conformed towards bogus answers
17% of test subjects at rumbled the experiment and
knew what was going on. Crutchfield did not
comment on how this would affect the test

In groups and out groups
In the field of social
anthropology in groups and
out groups reveal the
characteristics of social
identity. Tajfel (1979)
Proposed that groups e.g.
(social, class, family, football
teams etc.) which people
belonged to where an
important source of pride and
self-esteem. A group gives us a
sense of social identity: a sense
of belonging to the social
world. This unlock the social
identity Theory outline
categorizing sub-cultures
within their social environment
a social group membership
gives an individual a feeling of
belonging which can improve a
person’s self-esteem and social
endeavour. In (1979) a movie
called the warriors
summarised fictional gangs
based upon the real gangs of
New York’s underworld. The
film identified gang warfare
over territories around New
York against in and out groups.

Group performance
Group performance is defined by social
psychology summarised by Baron, Byrne,
and suls (1989). By quoting that “the
scientific field that seeks to understand the
nature and causes of individual behaviour in
social situations”. Social psychology deals
with the behaviourism of the individual in
the presence of others. Group dynamics and
group performance creates an industry of
social influence. Theoretically an individual
is controlled by minority influence. Moscovici
(1976, 1980) summarised the Asch
experiment and stated that in many forms of
conformity studies there was a minority
group who were conforming towards the
majority. He claims that Asch had placed an
abundance of emphasis towards the theory
of the group’s majority having magnitude of
influence on the minority. He stated that it
could be possible for an individual to
influence group option. This unlocks the
history of political movements. For example
Vladimir Lenin founder of the Russian
communist party. During the Bolshevik
Revolution Lenin was a minority of
communists against the Bolshevik ruling
class. Lenin quoted “the worse things are the
better things are” at the time of famine and
shear poverty hit his local village. People
under the Bolshevik government began to
discontent from the Bolshevik government
towards Lenin’s views which helped the
working class of Russia. Many Russians
conformed towards his views as an
individual.

Group dynamics within the
The Police
Example 1
The police are known for their
hostile encounters with
members of the public. Group
dynamics with the police helps
the police understand the
system of behaviours within
social anthropology. For
example understanding body
language of a group’s
behaviour ciphers an
abundance of knowledge
within a socialgroup. For
example a post-riot if a group
of delinquents gathers outside
a city centre and within men’s
rea the group show the
dynamics of criminal behaviour
then the police will identify the
morphology of criminal
behaviour though the
dimension of visual group
dynamics.

Example 2
Group Dynamics within the
police understands the
automation of behavioural
economics. For example within
the police force a group of
officers are better than one
officerif the officeris
outnumbered by a group of
undesirable individuals. Group
dynamics productively
influences communication and
social economics. Group
dynamics upholds industrial
dimensions towards the

management. While using a

We as Homo sapiens within the 20th century live inside a sociological
spectrum that defines are emotional automation within the
contraception of how we perceive others though are Medulla
Oblongata morphology. The brains cerebral cortex processes are
emotional status mirroring a roulette table’s ping pong ball landing
on a random number. Within clusters of society we share conflict
with random personalities within the public infrastructures
sociologicalspectrum. The public service e.g. the police delegates
order throughout civilization. In my option by examining the
criminal mind we could tap into their traits. Criminal architecture is
built upon high levels of testosterone directed at the police because
they represent a system that failed there sociologicalneeds. We can
use new techniques of conflict management over archaic techniques
by allowing these groups to vent their anger towards an enclosed
society if debauched behaviour is displayed by the individual. Now
we could regurgitate the prison system locking the individual within
an aggressive domain or we could educated that individualwithin a
program depicting that person’s view on society displaying their
behaviour on screen showing the individuals rage upon society. Any
Homo sapien will feel embarrassed of their public outrage recorded
in front of their very eyes. We need to push the education of verbal
abuse upon organizations or the public service cultivating citizens
and staff members that uncivilized behaviour will not be tolerated
within society and that an individual can be fined or placed within
an education system to develop there negative behaviour into
positive behaviour which will monitor there psychodynamic
emotions though step by step anger management or social economic
behavioural classes which will shape their aggressive emotions into
positive emotions.

Rahim and Bonoma (1979)
Rahim and Bonoma
constructed a theory of the
styles of handling interpersonal
conflict on two basic
dimensions which contested of
the concern for self and the
concern for others. The first
dimension explains the degree
of (High or Low) to which an
individual attempts to mollify
his or her concern. The second
dimension explains the degree
of (high or low) to which an
individual wants to satisfy the
concern of others. Both
dimensions portray
motivational direction which of
a given individual towards a
conflict. The dimensions
summarise individualistic
human behaviourism within
contrast towards the
workplace. The dichotomy of
the dimensions synopsizes
human narcissism vs empathy
which can create abundance
within the work environment.
Ruble and Thomas (1976) and
Van de Vliert and Kabnoff
(1990) have supported the idea
of two dimensions conflicting.
The combination of these two
dimensions summarises five
multifarious styles of handling
interpersonal conflict.

Rahim and Bonoma (1979)
Rahim and Bonoma theory
summarises organizational
conflict by monitoring the
architecture of the individual’s
emotions. Within the public
services e.g. the police will
conflict within immense status
of confrontational situations.
Group conflict can arise within
any moment within the
environment of verbal or
physical violence. For example
the chief of police will have to
identify these five styles of
human anthropology for the
purpose of foreseeing social
conflict within the team of
police officers. The theory
upholds vital keys towards
cultural phenomena which can
endeavour a chain of ethnics
towards battling conflict
management within the work
environment

How does The Sociologicalspectrum (2014) help individuals
and organisation in conflict Management work?
The individual that displays narcissistic trait hypothetically”
try’s to rule the roost”. The work place is built on highways of
sociologicaldifferences traveling around imitating protons,
electrons and neutrons. We are built upon the status of human
science within the rebounds of society’s changing evolutionary
structure. But a summary of negative emotions can stop are
evolutionary growth leading towards sociologicalbreak down if
the world was a negative the positive will be the victims of
extinction. Now if I was to elaborate upon my created theory I
believe that most individuals that are born a negative will only
responded towards a negative within controversial terminology
“power is only fought towards power if that individuallacks
emotion towards hurting an individual’s emotions”. To stop
conflict management within the area of an autocrat you will
have to summarise your status by playing the autocrat at their
own game without using conflict. The autocrat will normally be
a narcissist. Vindictive narcissists are just one vehicle upon the
highway of the Sociologicalspectrum. You must first catch the
narcissist of guard. This is discovered within the debate of
where David Frost catches Richard Nixon on a lie. If you catch
the narcissist out upon their own logic they feel demeaned and
frightened within their contested of intellectual wit but all
narcissist have a boiling point so be careful of you engagement
with the narcissist. Psych analyzation of the narcissism within
the negative side of the Sociological spectrum helps
organizations e.g. The Public services or corporations to identify
human emotions or Reading lies and bulling type behaviourism.
This will help an individualat the work environment to fight
negative narcissism with positive emotion with the
incorporation of positive wit and a strong poker face. The police
will accumulate a greater knowledge towards conflict
management if the anatomy of human science is educated
toward members of the police department. This will educate the
gift of summarising the world as protons, electrons and
neutrons for the laymen positive and negative entity’s within
the world’s stratosphere.

How does Rahim and Bonoma
(1979) theory help individuals
and organisation in conflict
Management work?
Rahim and Bonoma theory
(1979) elaborates upon two
dimensions of emotions the first
elaborating on the empathy
towards concerning towards
others and the second dimension
summarising the lack of empathy
towards concerning towards
human emotions. Both unlock
five elements of human
leadership skills clashing a
formation of human social
anthropology. How does it deal
with organisational conflict
management within the work
environment? The theory
summarises the dogmatic
totalitarians from the democratic
or non-confrontational
personalities. The theory helps
enterprises or the public service
endeavour the anatomy of
human economics. By
categorizing individuals by their
personality’s configuration such
as Belbin’s Team roles. It
constructs systematic order by
gathering Intel on emotional
actions. While unlocking
hypersonic automation towards
categorizing people into groups
that fit their personality avoiding
conflict with other cultures or
rival personality’s.

How does The Robbers Cave experiment
help individuals and organisation in
conflict Management work?
The Robbers cave experiment known as
the Realistic conflict Theory elaborates
upon stereotypical completion between
Homo sapiens and fighting for survival
within the era of prehistoric birth. Today
within the 20th century we live within the
survival of ego. This normally leads
towards conflict within large
organisation to the public services. The
experiment displayed two warring
factions over task dynamics within the
common sear antics of young men. Now
this is all in good humour to see people
fighting even within their adult hood
without the affable approach towards
the situation. We can learn an
abundance of techniques from robbers
cave towards individuals within
enterprises or the public service by
presenting a leader towards the group’s
morphology assigning roles towards the
Groups team members ensuring that
every group member has their appointed
view summarised by the leader before it
is placed into action. Summarising the
inventory of Charles Darwin’s
evolutionary theory we are not that
different to animalistic behaviourism. “If
I was to be so crude” I would compare
the transcendence of human culture to
wolfs fighting for survival over food
resources. Summarising the quote
“survival of the fittest”.
