Darwin’s theory of evolution explains the development of biological characteristics in various species of plants and animals as essential to their survival over time. This theory is also relevant to human social behavior, and, by extension, criminal behavior—and is argued by evolutionary psychologists who propose that it provides explanations for a range of antisocial behaviors, including rape and murder. They note that in some social environments, these aggressive behaviors may be viewed as being advantageous to survival and are indicative of survival of the fittest or natural selection theories. Some criminologists, however, deem this idea to be invalid, and they and other critics of applying evolutionary theory to criminal behavior assert that evolution does not adequately explain aggressive crimes. Instead, they suggest relying on a combination of factors to explain aggressive criminal behavior. For this Assignment, select two crimes with which you are familiar to which evolutionary theory may be applied. For each of the crimes, reflect on how the aspects of the criminal behavior and the characteristics of the criminal(s) might be explained by evolutionary theory. Reflect on whether or not you think evolutionary theory accounts for criminal behavior, and consider your reasons why. Assignment (1-2 pages): Briefly describe the crimes you selected. Explain how evolutionary theory does and does not account for each crime, using specific examples. Explain whether or not you think evolutionary theory accounts for criminal behavior and why, using specific examples. Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation.

Assignment Criminal Theories—Serial and Mass MurderMany theorie.docx

jesuslightbody

Assignment: Criminal Theories—Serial and Mass Murder Many theories try to explain why some people become serial or mass murderers. However, these theories vary tremendously in terms of the proposed factors that lead to the development of serial and mass murderers. Some theories, for example, emphasize the role of social factors, such as the family. Other theories highlight the importance of psychological factors, such as personality traits, and still other theories focus on the role of biological factors, such as neurological functioning. In isolation, none of these theories provides a definitive explanation for why some people develop into serial or mass murderers. Integrating knowledge from each theory provides for a well-rounded explanation of serial and mass murderers. Theoretical perspectives not only provide some insight into the causes for the development of serial and mass murderers but also assist criminal profilers in creating a psychological profile of a serial or mass murderer. For instance, suppose a criminal profiler realizes that a serial murderer's crime scene reveals evidence consistent with the attachment theory. Based on this theory, the criminal profiler would likely point out that the serial murderer had a dysfunctional childhood that was marked with emotional abuse, physical abuse, or both by the parents. Theories of serial and mass murderers therefore allow criminal profilers to predict the characteristics not revealed at the crime scene. To prepare for this assignment: Review Chapter 4 of your course text, Profiling Violent Crimes: An Investigative Tool. Reflect on the theories of serial and mass murderers and consider how they are similar. In addition, consider how the theories are different from each other, such as whether they focus on factors identifiable at birth, related to personality development, or found in the environment. Review the book excerpt, "The Making of a Serial Killer." Consider the various factors identified as potential causes of serial and mass murderers. Review the article "Serial Murder and the Case of Aileen Wuornos: Attachment Theory, Psychopathy, and Predatory Aggression." Focus on how attachment theory is different from the other theories, such as psychoanalytic theory and constitutional theories, discussed in Chapter 4 of Profiling Violent Crimes: An Investigative Tool. In addition, consider how theories such as attachment theory may be better suited than other theories to explain female serial murderers. Read Psychology Today’s “Is It Possible to Predict Violent Behavior” Select three criminal theories to compare (one psychological, one constitutional/biological, and one social/ecological). Consider the similarities and differences between and among these theories in terms of how they account for violent behaviors of serial and mass murderers and how they might be used in profiling and criminal investigation. The assignment (2-3 pages): Identify the theories you selected. Compare (sim.

Accessible player --Downloads--Download Video w/CCDownload AudioDownload Transcript Discussion: Sociological Theories The sociological approach examines underlying social conditions that may influence criminal behavior by focusing on how social structure and processes contribute to crime. Two of the basic sociological theories are consensus theory and life course criminology. Consensus theory asserts that criminal laws and their enforcement reflect the values and concerns of the majority of people in a society. Life course criminology focuses on life trajectories or paths that may lead to lifelong or repeat criminal behavior. There are many other theories associated with the sociological approach to understanding and explaining criminal behavior; however, some theories might be more applicable than others. By Day 3 Post an analysis of the strengths and limitations of at least two sociological theories as an explanation for criminal behavior. Then, briefly describe the sociological theory that you think best explains criminal behavior and explain why, using specific examples from the resources or the literature in your research. Note: Put the sociological theory you described in the first line of your post. You will be asked to respond to a colleague who described a different theory than you did.

DESCRIBING AND APPLYING VICTIMIZATION THEORY / TUTORIALOUTLET DOT COM

albert0059

This document discusses popular criminology theory and how it relates to both academic criminology and popular culture. Academic criminology is based on research data and observations about why people commit crimes, while popular culture portrayals are based more on movies and cultural imagination. Popular culture can shape public understanding of crime causes and consequences, though some movies may exaggerate crime or present altered versions of criminal acts. The document goes on to discuss how the movie Shottas both exaggerates crime and uses criminology theories like social learning theory to describe why characters commit crimes and their behaviors.

Understanding Hate Crimes And Recognizing Victims

Jennifer York

Here are the key aspects of social constructionism as it relates to understanding terrorism: - Social constructionism examines how humans jointly construct understandings of concepts and realities through social interactions and perceptions. There is no single objective reality. - Definitions of terrorism are socially constructed - there is no universally agreed upon definition. What constitutes a terrorist act depends on social and political perspectives and contexts. - Different societies, cultures, and political groups may construct the definition and understanding of terrorism in different and sometimes opposing ways based on their own perspectives and experiences. - The social construction of terrorism influences politics, law, and conflict. How terrorism is defined and understood shapes counterterrorism policies and designations of terrorist groups. It influences the "

Learning Objectives After reading this chapter, you should be able to do the following: • Summarize the humanist and interactionist approaches to explaining crime. • Define Braithwaite’s theory and its role in criminal justice policies. • Understand criminological theories that use humanistic constructs to explain crime. • Analyze social support and the ways that it can be used to rehabilitate offenders. • Identify the role of interactionist principles in multiple criminological theories. 8 Crime From the Humanist and Interactionist Perspectives © Graeme Robertson/Getty Images deL80458_08_c08_217-248.indd 217 11/14/12 2:19 PM CHAPTER 8Introduction Introduction Common to the theoretical perspectives explored in the other chapters of this text is that some central construct or process is highlighted for its causal role for explaining crime. For example, from the trait perspective, the temperamental and personality traits of an individual increase the likelihood of antisocial or prosocial behaviors depending on whether those traits are risk or protective factors. In the behaviorist perspective, the processes of learning and reinforcement produce behavioral outcomes. Many psychological theories zero in on specific constructs within the individual’s neuropsychological functioning, personality, cognitive skills, interaction patterns, neural substrates within the brain, and even genes, and then articulate how variance in these factors is associated with conduct problems. At the heart of this approach is the notion that deficits, problems, inef- ficiencies, or dysfunctions are associated with crime. Conversely, the lack of these same deficits explains successful, adaptive, prosocial, or conventional behavior. In this way, psychological theories of crime point to some pathology as the causal force. The humanist and interactionist perspectives differ from this approach in two important ways. First, no pathology-inducing construct is pointed to as the important causal force. Indeed, the idea of overt pathology and the negative connotation it presents is avoided in the theoretical and conceptual models presented in this chapter. Second, behavior is not viewed in mechanical theoretical terms, where the presence of a construct manifests in antisocial behavior while the absence of the construct does not. Humanist and interactionist theories point to the subjective processes that guide human behavior. All theories present a probabilistic rather than deterministic explanation of crime, but humanist and interactionist theories in particular focus on situational dynamics and how an individual feels about himself or herself at a given moment when attempting to explain how and why crime occurs. Humanist theory is concerned with the spirituality and emotional health of individuals, and how conflicts and threats to that inner health contribute to maladaptive behavior. While humanist theory is a broad, almost philosophical ...

Evolutionary Psychologyand Business Ethics ResearchDavid.docx

Evolutionary Psychology and Business Ethics Research David M. Wasieleski and Sefa Hayibor ABSTRACT: In this article, we describe evolutionary psychology and its potential contribution to business ethics research. After summarizing evolutionary theory and natural selection, we specifically address the use of evolutionary concepts in psychology in order to offer alternative explanations of behavior relevant to business ethics, such as social exchange, cooperation, altruism, and reciprocity. Our position is that individuals, groups, and organizations all are affected by similar natural, evolutionary processes, such that evolutionary psychology is applicable at multiple levels of analysis (e.g., individual and group). We introduce a variety of experiments and instruments employed by evolutionary psychologists to illustrate how ethics-relevant cultural norms and practices evolve and are regulated, and to raise the prospect that these experiments and instruments can be useful in future business ethics research. INTRODUCTION DESPITE EXTENSIVE EEFORTS BY SCHOLARS m various fields to un-derstand moral behavior, Reynolds and Ceranic recently observed that "the quantity and quality of knowledge that we have acquired about why individuals act ethically and unethically is incredibly low," and they argued that empirical ethics researchers must make "significant changes in our overall approach to our research" (Reynolds & Ceranic, 2007: 1610). Some researchers have looked to the neurosci- ences for advances in the explanation of ethical behavior (e.g., Reynolds, 2006; Salvador & Folger, 2009). In this article, we review the potential contribution to the social scientific study of organizational ethics from a different (though not entirely unrelated) approach to understanding ethical behavior: the evolutionary approach. Specifically, we review theories and insights from evolutionary psychology, and then consider how an evolutionary approach might inform business ethics research at different levels of analysis. In essence, we rely on an evolutionary approach to provide some underlying assumptions concerning human behavior that in turn can be utilized in business ethics research. Our approach is in keeping with other recent efforts to incorporate biological evolution into the organizational sciences (Hies, Arvey, & Bouchard, 2006; Nicholson & White, 2006; Pierce & White, 1999; Saad, 2006). If human nature is profoundly affected by the evolutionary history of our species (Nicholson, 1998), it is reasonable to expect that evolutionary theories can provide clues into behavior within organizations. Some biologists have suggested that evolutionary theories provide opportunity for business ethicists to understand and thus "fortify the other-oriented tendencies ©2009 Business Ethics Quarterly 19:4 (October 2009); ISSN 1052-150X pp. 587-616 588 BUSINESS ETHICS QUARTERLY of human beings—our tendencies toward sympathy, reciprocity, and loyalty—and to counter ...

Victimization Theory Summarize the theory of victimization, describing its meaning and core concepts as it relates to the nature of crime. Identify subcategories of the theory and describe each. Apply the theory to one (1) real life example or scenario. Briefly explain why the theory applies to the example you identified. Rational Choice Theory (example) According to this theory, crime is a matter of personal choice and the criminal makes a rational decision to commit the crime. This view is that If a person is motivated, considers the choices, and they believe crime will benefit them without risk. (Siegel & Worrall, 2013, p. 45) This view is that for the criminal, the profit outweighs the punishment. One sub-category is the “Deterrence Theory” which aligns itself by indicating crime would not be a “rational choice” therefore not chosen if there was a strong enough fear of punishment, acting to deter the criminal activity. (Akers, 1990, p.2) One real life case was that of Ariel Castro. This is the nationally televised case of a man who kidnapped and held three (3) women captive in his Cleveland, Ohio home for over 10 years, during which he physically and sexually assaulted, fathered a child and kept these young women captive until one manag.

Animal Rights And The Wrongness Of Killing

Nat Rice

This document summarizes an essay that explores the moral reasoning behind the view that killing humans is worse than killing animals. The author develops an alternative utilitarian framework that proportions the seriousness of killing to levels of sentience. He argues this avoids problems with standard utilitarian approaches and Singer's dualist utilitarianism. The author concludes happiness is intrinsically valuable while life has consequential value, and this theory combined with impartiality validates including animals in our moral framework.

eve2xjazwa

Directions: Answer 5 questions out of the following 15 questions and be sure to answer all parts of each multi-part question. Be sure to answer each question comprehensively and provide sufficient and substantive details, breadth, and depth. Your responses must demonstrate critical thinking and analysis as well as a substantive understanding and depth of knowledge of the subject matter. Overly brief and truncated responses will not be suitable. You will have 2.5 hours to complete this exam. 1. Certainty, severity, and celerity are the key elements of deterrence theory. Can crime be reduced by making the prescribed punishment so certain and severe that a rational individual would be deterred from committing criminal acts? Explain why or why not using specific criminological theories for support. Moreover, address how plea bargaining in criminal justice counters the premise of deterrence theory. 2. Should social scientists continue investigating and promoting biological causes of criminal behavior as promoted by major contributors to biological positivism such as Cesare Lombroso regarded by some as the father of criminology? Provide examples of past biological causes and explain why such past research could be validly criticized on the grounds that it promotes racist, sexist, or class-based stereotypes of criminals. 3. Conceptually, social learning theory has been applied to the fields of sociology, psychology, criminal justice, and criminology to explain how criminal values, ideas, techniques, and expressions are transmitted from one individual to another. Provide an in-depth and comprehensive overview of social learning theory and also provide a real-life example. 4. Differential association theory, as developed by Sutherland, is a learning theory that concentrates on one’s associates and the normative definition. Thoroughly explain differential association theory and provide a detailed real-life example of the theory. 5. Learning theorists believe that deviant behavior can be eliminated or modified by taking away the reward of the behavior, increasing the negative consequences of the behavior, or changing the balance of reward/punishment for the behavior. Do you agree or disagree with the beliefs of learning theorists? Fully and comprehensively explain your reason for agreement or disagreement. 6. Labeling theorists seek to understand what transpires after an individual is identified for committing a criminal act and society labels the offender. This approach differs from the view of choice, biological predisposition, psychological factors, social learning factors, and societal bond and control theories, which seek to explain the first offense and any subsequent criminal acts. Therefore, is labeling theory a true theory? Defend your answer and include specific elements of labeling theory. 7. Anomie was coined by sociologist Durkheim and first applied to French society in the examination of rates of suicide. The concept of anomie.

A Review Of The Offender Profiling Literature

Andrew Molina

This document provides a review of the literature on offender profiling. It discusses how offender typologies have historically been used in profiling but lack empirical validity. Typologies assume stable categories of offender traits and behaviors but researchers find offenders often exhibit a mix. The organized vs. disorganized dichotomy is an oversimplification. Additionally, typologies are based on crime scene evidence that is often ambiguous and anecdotal. Geographical profiling, which examines crime location patterns, has more empirical support. The review concludes typologies create narratives that sometimes fit qualitatively but often rely on unfounded assumptions.

A Critique Of Hall And Hirschman S Quadripartite Model Of Child Sexual Abuse

Ashley Carter

This document provides a critique of Hall and Hirschman's quadripartite model of child sexual abuse. The critique examines the model's core assumptions and highlights both its strengths and weaknesses. The quadripartite model is an influential multi-factorial theory that was originally developed to explain rape and later extended to child sexual abuse. However, the adequacy of its underlying ideas have never been systematically evaluated, despite its prominent status.
