This document discusses research into whether chromosomal abnormalities like XYY could be linked to criminal behavior. It summarizes a 1984 study by Alice Theilgaard that took blood samples from over 30,000 men to check for XXY and XYY patterns. Men with these patterns were interviewed and given intelligence and personality tests to see if they displayed more aggression. While XYY men tended to be slightly less intelligent and more aggressive, the sample sizes were small and a link between the abnormalities and criminality was not definitively proven. The study had limitations and left open ethical dilemmas about how such information could be used if a genetic link was established.

Relationships AQA Paper 3 PSYCHOLOGY A2
The document discusses several theories related to human reproductive behaviour and relationship formation and development. It describes theories of sexual selection, social penetration theory, physical attractiveness, filter theory, social exchange theory, equity theory, investment model, and relationship dissolution model. Key concepts include anisogamy, inter-sexual selection, intra-sexual selection, self-disclosure, halo effect, matching hypothesis, comparison level, stages of relationship development, intrinsic and extrinsic investments, and the four phases of relationship dissolution. Research supporting and critiquing various aspects of the theories is also reviewed.
E1a2 social explanations for criminality
Family patterns and experiences during childhood can influence whether a person turns to crime. Divorce can lead to children living in single-parent households, and research shows these children are twice as likely to become criminals. Separation from the primary caregiver before age 2, a phenomenon called maternal deprivation, has also been linked to criminal behavior later in life. Children from larger families of 6 or more children are more likely to engage in criminal acts due to less parental attention and supervision. No single factor determines criminality on its own, but negative childhood experiences like prolonged separation from caregivers or frequent arguments at home increase a child's vulnerability.
Psychological explanations of criminal behavior
1. Early psychological explanations of criminal behavior included demonic possession, physical abnormalities, and mental retardation. Rational choice theory proposed that criminal acts result from weighing rewards against risks and deterrence of punishment.
2. Major modern theories include psychodynamic perspectives focusing on childhood experiences and personality development, behaviorism which posits that aggression is learned through modeling, and cognitive theories examining faulty information processing and moral development.
3. Biological factors like biochemical imbalances, genetics, neurological defects, and evolutionary influences on aggression are also considered, as are trait theories related to antisocial personality and intelligence. Dominant views today recognize the interaction between psychological and sociological influences in contributing to criminal behavior.
CRIMINAL PROFILING
Criminal profiling combines elements of psychology and law enforcement to analyze criminal behavior and draw conclusions about the characteristics of unknown offenders. There are two main types of criminal profiling: inductive profiling compares current crimes to past offenders with similar backgrounds, while deductive profiling focuses on the specifics of each individual crime. The FBI uses a five-stage process for criminal profiling that includes compiling case data, assessing the crime, creating an offender profile, guiding the investigation, and ultimately apprehending the offender. Profiling techniques can provide insights to help narrow investigations and determine if multiple crimes were committed by one or more offenders.
APA division of Forensic Psychology
Forensic psychology is the intersection between psychology and the justice system. It provides psychological information to facilitate legal decisions. The field grew significantly after World War 2. Forensic psychologists work in clinical, developmental, and social psychology and assist with criminal investigations, profiling, rehabilitation, and analyzing crime trends. They help lawyers with jury selection, consulting, and witness preparation and testify in family, civil, and criminal courts. While criminal psychologists evaluate criminals, forensic psychologists work on all types of court cases, including civil matters not involving criminals. Forensic psychology is an emerging field in Pakistan.
Genetics and aggression A2
This document discusses biological explanations of aggression, focusing on genetic factors. It explains that some research has linked aggression to genes on the X and Y chromosomes as well as genes that influence the hormone testosterone. Specifically, it discusses studies finding a potential link between the XYY karyotype and aggression, though later research was less conclusive. It also summarizes research linking the MAO-A gene, sometimes called the "warrior gene", to increased aggression, especially when combined with childhood abuse. Animal breeding studies that selectively bred for aggressive traits in animals are also discussed as supporting a genetic role. However, issues with reductionism and the need to consider gene-environment interactions are raised.
Genetic explanation of aggression
Genetic factors play a role in aggressive behavior:
Twin studies show approximately 50% concordance for aggression between twins, suggesting a genetic influence. Adoption studies also find correlations between adoptee and biological parent aggression. Specific genes like MAOA, which regulates serotonin, and the extra Y chromosome in XYY syndrome, have been linked to increased aggression, especially when combined with negative environments. However, genetics alone cannot explain all aggression, as environment also influences behavior.
Forensic Psychology:Eye Witness Testimony
This lecture slide concerns the accuracy report of eye witness testimony. How accurate are eye-witness testimonials? And how can we interview witness so that their reports can be more accurate? It identifies the 'Cognitive Interview Model' which is a interview approach for increasing accuracy of reports while minimizes false information. One of the main mistake of interviewers are asking misleading questions. For instance, 'did you see the gun?' as opposed to 'did you see 'a' gun?' First part was misleading because it implies that a gun was witnessed when in fact there may not have been a gun present.

Mental illness and crime
This document discusses the complex relationship between mental illness and crime. While there is a clear connection between mental illness and incarceration, the link between mental illness and actual criminal behavior is more nuanced. Several studies mentioned found moderate connections between some mental illnesses like schizophrenia and crime, especially when combined with substance abuse, but many mentally ill individuals are non-violent. The document examines how factors like deinstitutionalization, homelessness, poverty, and drug use associated with mental illness can influence criminality as well.
Serial Murder Investigation
It is important for you as death investigators / LE, to have a working knowledge of all death scenarios . You should have a basic understanding of the characteristics and/or non-characteristics of what makes a serial kill, as opposed to a mass or spree kill.
In this way you can identify the need for more expert involvement or discern if you may have a death committed by a serial killer in your area or one that has passed through.
Criminal psychology
Criminal psychology is the study of the thoughts, intentions, and reactions of criminals in order to understand criminal behavior. Criminal psychologists are often called as expert witnesses in court cases to help the jury understand the mind of the criminal. Criminal profiling involves analyzing evidence from crime scenes to develop profiles of likely suspects based on behavioral characteristics. Profiling aims to narrow the pool of suspects and help police investigations. Forensic psychiatrists may also evaluate defendants' mental states at the time of a crime to determine criminal responsibility.
Forensic psychology - AQA Alevel Revision
This document discusses various topics related to forensic psychology, including defining and measuring crime, ways of measuring crime, offender profiling approaches, biological and psychological explanations for criminal behavior, and custodial sentencing. Some key points include:
- Crime can be defined as an illegal act that results in punishment, but definitions have changed over time and vary culturally. Measuring true crime rates is difficult due to unreported crimes.
- Offender profiling approaches include the FBI's "top-down" method of matching crimes to offender templates, and the "bottom-up" data-driven approach of identifying patterns across crimes.
- Biological theories have included atavism, genetics, and neurology, but have limitations and may
Learning Unit 1 - Value-based Behavior and Attitude-CRJ 461
This document discusses domestic violence and provides historical context on attitudes towards domestic violence. It notes that historically, domestic violence against wives was accepted in society and the law permitted husbands to physically discipline their wives. Over time, views have changed and domestic violence is now recognized as a crime. The document also discusses myths about domestic violence and notes that abuse is about power and control rather than anger. Domestic violence can include physical, emotional, sexual, and psychological abuse and tactics aim to dominate and control the victim.
Gender and crime SOCIOLOGY
This document discusses theories around gender differences in crime and deviance. It notes that official crime statistics show most recorded crimes are committed by men. Various explanations for this are discussed, including biological theories, socialization/sex role theories, social control theories, and lack of opportunities. More recently, postmodern theories have looked at concepts like transgression. Theories have also examined how masculinity relates to crime, with some men feeling pressure to demonstrate aggression, control, and oppositional behavior to affirm their masculinity.
Social Theories of Crime
Social theories of crime can be divided into four categories: social structure theories, social process theories, social conflict theory, and developmental theories. Social structure theories argue that factors like social class, community conditions, and access to opportunities influence criminal behavior. Social process theories focus on how interactions with groups and social institutions shape criminal tendencies through learning and social bonds. Social conflict theory views crime as a result of conflicts over scarce resources between social classes in a capitalist system. Developmental theories see criminality as influenced by changing social, personal, and economic factors over one's lifetime.
Criminal profiling
(1) Criminal profiling began informally in the late 1940s to help investigations but initial profiles were not very helpful. The case of the "Mad Bomber" in the 1950s demonstrated how effective profiling could be when it directly led police to identify and apprehend the offender.
(2) There are two main approaches to profiling - inductive uses research on similar past crimes while deductive analyzes each crime individually. A 2010 study found brief training in inductive profiling produced more accurate profiles than no training, especially for physical characteristics.
(3) Characteristics of the crime scene can provide clues to the offender's personality and organization. Organized crime scenes suggest an offender who is socially competent while disorganized
Deviant Behavior 6
The document discusses trait theories in criminology, which focus on linking biological and psychological traits to antisocial and criminal behavior. It describes several biosocial and psychological trait theories that attempt to explain criminal behavior, including theories related to biochemistry, neurology, genetics, evolution, psychodynamics, behaviorism, cognition, social learning, mental illness, and personality/intelligence. Trait theorists believe criminal behavior is influenced by both inherent traits and environmental factors interacting together. The document raises questions about the theories and notes limitations in the early research while also highlighting potential strengths of each approach.
Criminal Behavior Powerpoint
This document discusses the nature vs nurture debate around criminal behavior. It defines criminal behavior and crime, as well as behavior. It notes that there is an ongoing dispute over whether hereditary or environmental factors have a greater influence on human traits and actions. Statistics are presented to support both the role of nature and nurture in criminal behavior, but no conclusions are drawn.
Psychopaths
The document discusses psychopathy, defining it as a personality disorder characterized by lack of empathy and amoral behavior. It notes that psychopaths make up about 2% of the population but only 10,000 have been detected by justice systems, leaving an estimated 990,000 undetected psychopaths living among normal people. These "integrated psychopaths" could be parents, bosses, spouses or politicians and are hard to identify because they appear outwardly normal but are internally amoral and lack empathy or remorse. The document suggests psychopaths are well-suited to succeed in organizations and businesses through manipulation and deception.
the case study of the serial killer Ed Kemper
Edmund Kemper was a serial killer born in 1948 who murdered his grandparents at age 15 and later killed 6 female students between 1972-1973. He would pick up female hitchhikers, take them to isolated areas, and murder them. He later turned himself into police and confessed to his crimes. While in prison, Kemper participated in interviews with FBI agents and psychiatrists to provide insight into the mind of serial killers. He remains in prison and considers himself unfit for society.
Profiling
This document provides information about serial killers from an FBI profiling perspective. It defines serial killers as those who murder 2 or more victims with a cooling off period between killings. It profiles some of the most notorious American and international serial killers. It discusses characteristics of organized and disorganized killers. The document also examines profiling techniques used to understand crime scenes and killer psychology/motivations. Fantasy is identified as playing a key role in the development of serial killers. Survival tips are also presented.
Criminal Profiling.pptx
Psychological profiling is a forensic technique used by investigative agencies to develop a profile of the type of person likely to have committed a crime based on evidence and characteristics of the crime scene. The profile considers factors like the crime scene evidence, victimology, and forensic details to reconstruct the crime and assess whether it was organized or disorganized. This leads to developing a criminal profile with demographics, physical traits, habits, and behavioral characteristics to guide the investigation in apprehending the offender.
Learning Unit 2 - Victim Blaming and Frustrations-CRJ 461
Victim blaming is common in domestic violence cases which frustrates criminal justice professionals. Victims may act unpredictably out of fear and trauma, not leave their abusers due to threats or lack of resources, and deny or minimize abuse. Witnessing domestic violence negatively impacts children and can cause mental health issues. Providing support, education, and advocating for victims' safety without judgment is important as leaving an abusive situation is a difficult process.

Crime,media & criminology
This document is a presentation on crime, media, and criminology presented by Avijit Sarker Subrata. It discusses how the media depicts crime and influences public perceptions of crime. It notes that the media focuses on violent crimes and stereotypical portrayals of criminals. Research shows the media selects stories based on unusual circumstances, dramatic elements, and involvement of famous people. The media dramatizes crime to sell news and most portrayals are of violent, interpersonal crimes, ignoring white-collar and corporate crimes. This shapes the public's understanding of crime more than personal experiences.
E4a1 how defendant characteristics affect jury decision making
Psychologists have studied how defendant characteristics can affect jury decision-making. Research has found that racial stereotypes can influence jurors, with mock juries more likely to find black defendants guilty compared to white defendants who committed the same crime, and give black defendants harsher sentences. Additional research has shown attractive defendants are judged as less guilty and given lower sentences than unattractive defendants. Accent also influences jurors, with regional accents viewed more negatively than posh accents in some cases. These findings suggest jurors may be swayed by superficial characteristics rather than just the evidence.

E3a1 offender profiling
Offender profiling aims to narrow down suspects by analyzing clues left at crime scenes, such as the type of victim and location. Profiles are created through a two-step process: 1) detailed analysis of the crime, and 2) using this information to construct probable features of the criminal, including their sex, age, and where they live. While some profiles have successfully helped police catch criminals, others have led to the wrongful targeting of innocent people. Most police find profiles useful, but traditional policing methods are generally more effective for solving crimes.

B1c1 the biological theory of dreaming
The activation-synthesis theory of dreaming proposes that:
1) During REM sleep, the brain generates random neural signals that are interpreted into dream narratives.
2) These random signals occur because sensory input is blocked and movements are inhibited during REM sleep.
3) The brain synthesizes the random neural activations into coherent stories that make up our dreams.

E1a1 biological explanations for criminality
1. The document examines several biological explanations for criminality, including family and twin studies that look at the genetic links between relatives with criminal histories.
2. Family and twin studies have shown that individuals are more likely to commit crimes if their parents or grandparents were also criminals, suggesting a genetic component. Identical twins were also more likely to both be criminals compared to non-identical twins.
3. However, there are limitations to these studies, as shared environment and observational learning within families could also explain criminal behavior patterns. Chromosome abnormalities have also been linked to aggression and criminality in some studies, but the links are not definitive.
E1a1 biological explanations for criminality
1. The document examines several biological explanations for criminality, including family and twin studies that compare criminal tendencies between relatives who share genes versus environment.
2. Family and twin studies provide some evidence that criminality may be genetically linked, as identical twins were both criminal over 50% of the time, compared to 22% for non-identical twins.
3. However, the evidence is inconclusive as chromosome studies of criminals found no definitive "criminal gene" and not all individuals with chromosome abnormalities exhibited criminal behaviors. Genetics may interact with environment and upbringing.

Gender (Crime & Deviance)
This document discusses gender patterns in crime based on official statistics and sociological theories. The key points are:
- Official statistics show males are far more likely to be convicted of crimes than females. However, some argue these statistics underestimate female offending.
- There are three main questions raised: do women really commit fewer crimes; how do we explain female criminality; and why do males commit more crimes?
- Theories to explain gender differences in crime include functionalist sex role theory, patriarchal control theory, and the liberation thesis. Masculinity is also discussed as a factor in male criminality.
NAU Scholarship Research Paper June 1_2015
1. Violence has been part of human evolution since ancient times as a means of survival, and criminologists study various potential causes of violent behavior, including biological, psychological, and social factors.
2. No single factor causes violence, but rather a combination of an individual's biology, psychology, and social environment can contribute to potential for violence. Mental illnesses and disorders, genetic traits, exposure to substances in utero, and unstable social environments have all been linked to increased risk of criminal behavior.
3. While research on brain imaging and twin studies show some biological and genetic influences on criminality, the causes are complex with no single diagnosis or theory that can fully explain violent criminal behavior. Both innate and environmental
Psychopathy v. Sociopathy- Whats the difference?
Psychopathy and sociopathy are often used interchangeably but there are key differences. Psychopathy is considered biological in nature while sociopathy is caused by environmental factors like upbringing. Psychopaths tend to be well-educated and able to mask their disorder, while sociopaths are more erratic and impulsive. Ted Bundy is presented as a classic psychopath due to his controlled and calculated behavior, while Jack the Ripper is seen as a sociopath given his spontaneous and rash criminal acts. Understanding the distinctions is important for treatment and prevention.
Biological Positivism2
The document discusses several biological theories of criminality and deviance, including:
1) Twin and adoption studies that found higher concordance rates for criminal behavior in monozygotic twins compared to dizygotic twins, suggesting a genetic influence on criminality.
2) Research on biological factors like ADHD, low IQ, and brain abnormalities that have been linked to increased risk of criminal or antisocial behavior.
3) Studies of chromosome abnormalities like the XYY syndrome that were once thought to influence aggression but have been largely discredited.
What do we_know_about_sexual_abuse
Very few of us know that 73% of the rape victims know the rapists. Moreover, 40% of rapes happen at victim’s home and 20% occur in the homes of familiar people.
It turned out that most of us have no idea about the effective precautions needed to protect ourselves from the traumatic experience, because we expect danger from a wrong source. A widespread belief is that one should expect a rapist to sit in the bushes in the park late at night, while the reality is different.
My colleague Paulina Grzelak and I were astonished while exploring this topic, as we were quite oblivious to the real situation as well. Therefore, we decided to make a small questionnaire and ask people what they think about rape.
This presentation begins with the analysis of what makes a person become a rapist, which is followed by the comparison of the results of the questionnaire with real data.
I would be grateful if you shared this presentation as many people need this knowledge.
I also want to add that most figures we present come from the States where definition of rape and social situation may differ from ours. Hence, comparing data from the U.S. with opinions from Poland and Ukraine may seem improper. For instance, being forced into sexual contact by husband may not even be recognized as rape in Ukraine, “because it’s his natural right”. And even if a wife admits this fact, social welfare system (which does not exist here, let’s face it) leaves her no option apart from remaining silent, while in the U.S. rape victims are less dependent on family members. Therefore, one has to approach the statistics carefully. Still, we believe that using American data can be justified by the fact that they explore the subject more than any other country.
Gender In Paranormal Investigation B
The document summarizes a study on gender differences in paranormal investigation. It finds that more women than men participate in paranormal investigation. There are observed biological, sociocultural, and behavioral differences between how men and women approach paranormal investigation. For example, women are more likely to rely on both electronic evidence and human intuition, while men tend to rely more on electronic evidence. The study has limitations due to its small sample size but provides insights into how gender may influence paranormal investigation techniques and interpretations.
Women Accused of Sex Offenses: A Gender-Based Comparison
This document summarizes a study that compares women and men accused of sexual offenses who were referred for psychiatric evaluation. Some key findings include:
- Women accused of sexual offenses were similar in age to male counterparts, ranging from 19-62 years old. Many had prior arrests and histories of victimization.
- Both female and male sex offenders were most often referred for sexual predator classification evaluations. However, women were more likely to have victims of both genders.
- While there are some similarities between female and male sex offenders, research shows women are more likely to have histories of abuse, mental illness, and relationship issues. They also tend to know their victims and have victims of the same gender.
Psychopath Investigator
1) The author intends to become a forensic investigator who studies psychopathic offenders to add to the knowledge about this personality disorder and to protect the public. They hope to separate myth from fact regarding psychopaths and establish trust with offenders to gain insight into the psychopathic mind.
2) Psychopathy is correlated with criminal behavior, with about 1% of the male population being psychopaths but 15-25% of male prisoners being psychopaths. Psychopaths are also more likely to commit violent crimes.
3) As a forensic psychologist working with psychopathic offenders, there are important ethical challenges around dual roles, conflicts of interest, informed consent, and ensuring no harm or exploitation of offenders or victims
Biological Theories of Crime
Genetic abnormalities like the XYY syndrome have been linked to criminal behavior, as studies in the 1960s found XYY males were more likely to commit violent crimes. However, the evidence is limited and twin studies on the connection between genes and crime have been inconclusive, as twins share both genetic similarities and environmental upbringings. Overall, the role of genetics in criminality remains unclear as the impact of one's environment cannot be disentangled from their innate biological predispositions.
Gender & Crime Booklet
Sex-role theory and social control theory are two major approaches to explaining gender differences in criminal behavior. According to sex-role theory, boys and girls are socialized differently from a young age, with boys encouraged to take risks and be tough/aggressive, making them more likely to commit crimes. Females face closer social control from a young age, making them less likely to deviate from social norms. Feminist theorists criticize these approaches for failing to consider gender power differences and propose alternative theories like transgression theory, which examines activities that harm women and how gender roles are socially constructed to limit women's opportunities and freedom.

Section c revision lesson
The lesson focused on revising Section C of an essay. Students were instructed to carefully reread their work to check for errors in content, organization, word choice, and sentence structure. They then refined and polished their writing by clarifying ideas, tightening prose, and correcting any issues. The goal was to thoughtfully review and improve their initial draft before final submission.
Section a revision
The optic chiasma is not found in the retina. It is located where some of the optic nerve fibers from each eye cross over to the opposite side of the brain.
The other three structures are all found in the retina:
- Rods and cones are the light-sensitive cells located in the retina.
- The blind spot is an area of the retina where the optic nerve leaves the eye, containing no photoreceptors.
So the optic chiasma is the structure not found in the retina from the options given. It is located where the optic nerves meet after leaving the eyes.
Section d revision
1) The document summarizes research on classical conditioning and social learning theory as they relate to phobias. It discusses studies showing how phobias can develop from conditioning, like Little Albert's fear of rats, and through social learning by observing others, as in monkeys learning snake fears.
2) Preparedness theory proposes that humans more easily learn associations between stimuli that were threatening in our evolutionary past, like snakes. We are less likely to fear stimuli like clothing that held no evolutionary risk.
3) Research also found people tend to fear animals perceived as ugly, slimy, fast-moving or acting suddenly, supporting both nature and nurture influences in phobia development.
E3c2 becoming a forensic psychologist1
Forensic psychologists deal with issues related to criminality, primarily working in prisons and with prisoners. They may work for the HM Prison Service, NHS secure hospitals, social services young offender units, probation services, or as independent consultants or researchers at universities. The role requires strong communication, observation, and problem-solving skills. Qualifications include a BPS-recognized psychology degree and a masters in forensic psychology, along with relevant work experience. Forensic psychologists carry out assessments, interventions, evaluations, and research to understand and manage criminal behavior within ethical guidelines focusing on competency, confidentiality, and privacy.
E3c3 how a forensic psychologist might help treat
A forensic psychologist may help treat offenders through rehabilitation programs that focus on developing skills like anger management, appropriate social interaction, and treating addictions. Therapies used may include personal construct therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and behavior modification. The goal is to treat the behaviors and underlying issues that led to offending, such as intimacy problems, social skills deficits, lack of empathy, and cognitive distortions, in order to reduce recidivism risk. However, effectively treating issues like drug abuse can be challenging as environmental factors may trigger relapse.
The mouse and the child
The document summarizes the play "The Mouse and His Child" by Tamsin Oglesby, which is based on the novel of the same name by Russell Hoban. It follows a clockwork mouse and his child as they are discarded on Christmas day and embark on a journey to return to the toy shop. The play explores themes of escape, freedom, and reunited families through the relationship between the mouse and his child. It originally played at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre from November 2012 to January 2013 and was directed by Paul Hunter.
E1a2 social explanations for criminality
Family patterns and experiences during childhood can influence whether a person turns to crime. Divorce can lead to children living in single-parent households, and research shows these children are twice as likely to become criminals. Separation from the primary caregiver before age 2, a phenomenon called maternal deprivation, has also been linked to criminal behavior later in life. Children from larger families of 6 or more children are more likely to engage in criminal acts due to less parental attention and supervision. No single factor determines criminality on its own, but negative childhood experiences like prolonged separation from caregivers or arguments within the family can increase a child's vulnerability to criminal behavior.
E3c2 becoming a forensic psychologist
Forensic psychologists deal with issues related to criminality, primarily working in prisons and with prisoners. They may work for the HM Prison Service, NHS secure hospitals, social services young offender units, probation services, or as independent consultants or researchers at universities. The role requires strong communication, observation, and problem-solving skills. Qualifications include a BPS-recognized psychology degree and further experience and qualifications in forensic psychology, such as a masters degree and two years of supervised practice. Forensic psychologists carry out assessments, interventions, and evaluations using treatment methods to manage prisoner behavior while adhering to ethical guidelines regarding competency, confidentiality, and privacy.
E3c1 the job of a forensic psychologist
A forensic psychologist works in the legal system to uncover psychological issues related to criminal activity and the treatment of criminals. They assess risks of reoffending, evaluate treatment programs, conduct research, train staff, and provide advice to courts, parole boards, and other agencies. Forensic psychologists work with prisoners, victims, witnesses, judges, and juries, carrying out assessments, treatments, and presenting findings to help manage offender behavior and reduce stress. They require skills in psychology, research, assessment, and working with multiple agencies.
E2b2 gathering information from convicted offenders
Gathering information from convicted offenders presents both practical and ethical challenges. Practically, offenders may lie or withhold information to gain early release, glorify their crimes, or avoid retribution. Ethically, talking about crimes could be therapeutic for some but distressing for others, and offenders have the same human rights as participants, including the rights to withdraw, privacy, and debriefing without fear of self-incrimination or retaliation. Researchers must consider these issues to ensure valid and ethical treatment of offender participants.
E2a3 madon (2004) self fulfilling prophecy
Parents' expectations of their children's drinking behavior can become a self-fulfilling prophecy, according to a study by Maldon (2004). The study asked parents to predict how much alcohol their children would consume over the next year. One year later, the children's actual alcohol consumption aligned with their parents' predictions - children whose parents expected greater alcohol use tended to drink more. The findings suggest parents' beliefs can significantly influence their children's drinking behaviors.
E2a2 signall and ostrove (1975) attractiveness
In a 1975 study, Signall and Ostrove sought to determine whether attractiveness affects jury decision making. They presented 120 participants with a crime scenario and photo of the defendant, Barbara Helms. Participants were split into groups that saw an attractive or unattractive photo of Barbara accused of either burglary or fraud. The results showed that attractive defendants received shorter prison sentences for burglary but longer sentences for fraud, suggesting attractiveness can influence juror perceptions of guilt based on the type of crime committed.
E1b1 comparing theories of criminality
This document compares biological and social theories of criminality and the nature vs nurture debate. Biological theories focus on inherited criminal behavior through genes or chromosome abnormalities. Social theories examine external influences like family structure, parenting, and self-fulfilling prophecies. Both sides present evidence but neither fully explains criminality on its own. The conclusion is that considering both biological tendencies and social vulnerabilities provides a safer perspective, as criminal behavior likely results from an interaction between nature and nurture.
E1a4 self fulfilling prophecy as an explanation for criminality
This document discusses the concept of self-fulfilling prophecy and how it may help explain criminality. It defines self-fulfilling prophecy as when one's expectations or treatment by others influences their own behavior. For example, if a person is expected or treated as if they will engage in criminal behavior, they may conform to this expectation. The document cites a study by Rosenthal and Jacobsen where teachers' expectations affected students' IQ test performance, demonstrating how expectations can shape outcomes. It discusses how Gustav Johoda found a correlation between birth day-based names and later arrest rates in Ashanti culture, which could potentially be explained by the effects of a self-fulfilling prophecy. However, it notes that self-fulfilling
E1a3 chidrearing as expl criminality
Hoffman identified three childrearing strategies: induction, love withdrawal, and power assertion. Induction encourages empathy by explaining wrongdoings and consequences. Love withdrawal manipulates a child's feelings and undermines their independence. Power assertion, especially if inconsistent or excessive, is associated with low self-esteem, aggression, and delinquency later in life. The example of Lee shows how inconsistent punishment from his parents led to confusion and taking anger out on others. While parenting strategies influence delinquency, many factors are involved.
E2al theilgaard (1984) the criminal gene
This document discusses research into whether chromosomal abnormalities like XYY could be linked to criminal behavior. It summarizes a 1984 study by Alice Theilgaard that took blood samples from over 30,000 men to check for XXY and XYY patterns. Men with these patterns were interviewed and given intelligence and personality tests to see if they displayed more aggression. While XYY men tended to be slightly less intelligent and more aggressive, the sample sizes were small and a link between the abnormalities and criminality was not definitively proven. The study had limitations and left open ethical dilemmas about how such information could be used.
E3a1 offender profiling
Offender profiling aims to narrow down suspects by analyzing clues left at crime scenes, such as the type of victim and location. Profiles are created using a detailed analysis of the crime and evidence to construct a list of probable characteristics of the criminal, including their sex, age, and where they live. While some profiles have successfully helped police identify criminals, others have led to the wrongful accusation and victimization of innocent people. Overall, offender profiling can provide guidance to police but is not always accurate, and traditional investigative methods remain the most effective approach.
E2b2 gathering information from convicted offenders
Gathering information from convicted offenders presents both practical and ethical challenges. Practically, offenders may lie or withhold information to gain early release, glorify their crimes, or protect themselves, their families, or criminal groups. Ethically, talking about crimes could be therapeutic for some but distressing for others, and offenders have the same human rights as other research participants, including the rights to withdraw, privacy, and debriefing. The information provided could also potentially lead to distress if offenders fear it being used to convict others.
Differentiation
Differentiation strategies should provide multiple ways for students to engage with content and demonstrate understanding, through open-ended responses, various learning resources that cater to different styles, and choice in tasks and activities. A positive learning environment is important, where students feel respected and teachers get to know each student as an individual rather than just data. Regular review and improvement allows students to assess their work and progress with feedback. While differentiation takes more planning, there are also strategies to help save time like self-levelling activities, strategic questioning, and peer learning techniques.
Unit 1 from page to stage
This document provides guidance for students on bringing a published script to life for an audience. It outlines that the focus is on establishing the playwright's original intention, not devising new work. Students must understand the script's context, genre, characters and design elements to develop an effective performance that supports their chosen interpretation. The working process involves preparation, exploration, rehearsal, performance and review aligned to the professional model. Assessment is based on a working record of ideas and the final performance.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

E2al theilgaard (1984) the criminal gene
- 2. Chromosome and abnormalities Blood samples can be taken to look at the chromosomes to see if they have any abnormalities that might cause criminal behaviour. Normally Males have an XY Chromosome pattern. But in the 1960 researchers discovered with an extra Y chromosome (XYY) are more likely to be violent and Criminal. This condition is not inherited so does not run in the families. Even through it may be a genetic reason for criminality. It is a very rare disorder but some men who have this disorder have been found to be more aggressive and slower at learning than average.
- 3. Murderers The following murderers were found to have the chromosome abnormality XYY. Richard Speck (Murdered 8 student Nurses) John Wayne Gacy The Clown Killer(Murdered 33 boys and men) Aurthur Shawcross (murdered 11 Women)
- 4. Starter questions: 1. Describe two ways of studying whether criminality is biological. 2. What problems might there be with saying criminality is biological? 3. Minority report – Discuss!
- 5. Theilgaard (1984) the criminal gene Aim: Alice Theilgaard (1984) wanted to see if criminals had a particular gene that could be responsible for their criminal behaviour. Procedure: Took blood samples of over 30,000 men born in the 1940s. From these initial blood tests two chromosome abnormalities were found; XXY Chromosome pattern XYY Chromosome pattern Out of 30,000 tested 16 had XXY and 12 had XYY
- 6. The men were interviewed by a social worker about their background and their criminal history and given an intelligence test. A personality test was given to see if they displayed more aggression than the XY Males. Interviewing and Research Bias The Social workers did not know the aim of the study. By doing this was able to avoid Research Bias (find out what they want to find out).
- 7. Results – Theilgaard Found… XYY – Had slightly lower intelligence and tended to be more aggressive than normal. This could be evidence for a criminal gene if aggression is a sign of criminality. (but not all criminals are aggressive). There were far more similarities between the XXY and XYY males than there were differences. No solid evidence of a criminal gene was found.
- 8. Evaluation Strengths All tests and interviews conducted by independent Social Worker (No researcher Bias) Used a vast range of tests to measure different aspects of men's lives, backgrounds and personality.
- 9. Weakness Only a small sample of men used (16 and 12) this is because XYY occurs in estimate 1 in 1000. Only 12 males tested can not be sure that all XYY are more aggressive and lower intelligence. (Can’t be generalised). XYY are verily average so can not be picked out from other males easily. Not inherited so can not be tracked easily. Link between XYY and aggression is only a Correlation not a cause. The most obvious reason for aggression males were lower intelligence and delayed speech. Could have made school difficult for them. Leading to frustration and aggression in childhood leading through to adulthood.
- 10. Similar studies Simple fact is that from many studies that have been done. Not all criminals are XYY and not all XYY males are Criminals. So you can not be sure that chromosome abnormality causes criminality or all criminals would be XYY. Dilemma What would happen if XYY chromosome was identified? Would all XYY be monitored in case they committed a crime? Could this have lead them to crime as a result of being labelled.
