What is the psychology of people who commit crime?
Every human behavior is done to serve a certain important psychological goal including the crimes people commit. What seems irrational from the outside like a crime is actually an attempt to do something completely rational like reaching a certain psychological goal. For example if a child felt inferior during his childhood then there is a big possibility that he will strive for superiority as an adult.
If that child didn't manage to achieve his goal using the normal ways such as academic or financial success, he might decide to become superior by being dangerous or in other words by becoming a criminal. They are trying to achieve psychological balance through a short cut because they didn't manage to go through the normal way. This interpretation of the psychology of people who commit crime is not yet complete because not every person who fails to achieve his goals turn into a criminal but only those who lack social interest.
Social interest is developed as a result of correct parenting and as a result of being raised in a healthy house where both the father and the mother are loving and cooperative. Children who don't learn how to cooperate and who fail to develop social interests are at high risk of becoming criminals provided that they failed to achieve their psychological balance using the socially acceptable methods.
The goal of achieving superiority is among the most popular psychological reasons that motivates many people to commit crimes. The criminal usually attacks weak victims who are unarmed in order to be in control and to feel superior.
i support this point,the criminal may trying achieve psychological balance through a short cut.They maybe not thinking about their behavior will influences to others,and just follow their feelings.(kwong~)
ReplyDeletei agree with you..sometimes,people don't know what they do..but,in your oppinion ,what would be the motive of killing then?(adEebah~)
ReplyDeleteThe criminal sometimes choose the targets randomly or more likely select the victims who looks less protection.For example,the cases of Nurin and Nisha.Nurin was missing when she went night market alone while Nisha was missing whentaken a walk with her mentally ill aunt.(kwong`)
ReplyDeletein my oppinion..if they're DESPERATE for money ($$$$), they are be so stupid and kidnap a random girl from a less than average income family..(adEebah~)
ReplyDeletebut, in those case, the kidnapper didn't extort money from their family...
ReplyDeleteStudies have shown that most children (74%) who are murdered during stranger kidnappings are killed within the first few hours of the event (OJJDP, 1997).
ReplyDeleteBesides that,in my opinion,the criminals sometimes unconscionable to do this cases to citizen.He is not cognizant that he is wrong,for example killing people,so that he will not understand that it is impossible to set something that is wrong to begin with "right".The doing of it "right" quickly becomes divorced from the fact that the action or behavior is wrong.(kwong~)
yes,you're right.. before that i thinks, actually they wanted money.but this case became famous and received media coverage.And then, they change and cancel their plan..(adEebah~)
