Theoretical Dimension Involving Criminal Behavior

Theoretical Dimension Involving Criminal Behavior

Introduction

Theoretical dimension involving criminal behavior revolves around the sociology of criminal behavior. One of the central themes of the sociology of crime is the treatment of criminal behavior as memorize assimilated from others (Pantileev, 1987). Of course, such training is understood in a broad sense: it includes not only direct instruction, but a long, sometimes quite imperceptible influence of various social processes. Thus, individual behavior develops under the strong influence of a direct interaction in the group, and under the influence of other groups to which a person is almost invisible as it checks itself, thereby forming their beliefs and their way of action.

These hidden effects have a cumulative effect and continuing throughout the life of the individual; to a large extent determine the appearance of both legitimate and illegal behaviors. According to Edwin X. Sutherland, the process of learning involves the assimilation of technology as a crime, and the more subjective elements, "the driving motives, inclinations, rational behavior and attitudes." This "ideological dimension" involves teaching criminals that depends largely on how the law looks at those who teach (or who to turn for advice). Ultimately the determining factor whether a person will become a criminal or not, is the overall balance of assessments, favoring or hindering the offense (Raeva, 2000).

This theory receives confirmation. SN Bogomolov suggests that in many studies, including longitudinal was proved by the stability of the lessons of childhood aggressive behavior patterns (Bogomolov, 1989). Moreover, with age, the tendency to respond aggressively to difficult situations is reinforced, as the expanding range of situations such as aggression, causing corresponding negative reactions from others, as it receives additional reinforcement (and excuse). As a result, according to social learning theory of aggression, violent criminals are ways of solving conflict situations do not own and are usually referring to the most primitive and, as a rule, non-adaptive - physical aggression.

The Crime Provoked By the Situation

With regard to situations conducive to criminal behavior, they are an external factor. As pointed out by AB Sugars, like every human act, a crime is a result of the interaction of individual personality traits and objective (external to the individual) situation in which a person takes a particular behavioral decision - what to do. In other words, the immediate cause of each individual crime is on the one hand, the personal characteristics of the individual - his views, needs, interests, attitudes toward various social values ??and conditions, including the legal requirements and prohibitions (Schur. 1977). On the other - a set of external objective circumstances that cause the intention and determination to commit a premeditated crime. In content, the situation may be a conflict, problem, or extreme. By the nature of the impact on the situation may be the culprit seductive, provocative, and discharging.

However, the subject of this study is not a crime determination of external factors - the situation or circumstances. All the more so that their role is probably relatively low, SN Bogomolov suggests that ...
