Criminology : Basically it is the study of crime and criminals ,
It is the study of crime from a social perspective: the causes of
crime, the social impact of crime, and the criminals involved in the
crime. Criminologists study criminology in an attempt to better
understand what motivates the criminal to act in a criminal
manner. Criminal have special type of behavior that differtiate
them from left of the world this either include their talking , doing
and many other and this is imporatant for us to know thaqt what is
criminal behavior ,
Criminal behavior refers to conduct of an offender that leads to
and including the commission of an unlawful act. Following are
examples of case laws on criminal behavior: Sexual acts with
a 10 year old child clearly constitute criminal behavior , killing
some one , gambling , drug abuse , using guns are some
examples of criminal behavior that properly define that these
things are abided by the law and the person doing these types of
activities automatically shows us that he / she has criminal
behavior .
But there are some factors that are involved in converting the
mind of a normal person or a child into a criminal mind or lead to
criminal behavior these factors may be biological factors ,
psychological factors , sociological factors , enviormental factors ,
religious factors , political factors etc

Model 1:

Economical factors and how they lead to criminal behavior

 UNEMPLOYMENT
ECONOMICAL
LOW INCOME
FACTORS NOT ABLE TO BUY
Low Wages ESSENTIALS THAT ARE
IMP FOR LIVING
INCOME INEQUALITY

Poverty

Tofullfill their needs they do

robbery and kill People

EXPLANATION : In this model it is clearly seen that the economic factors can lead
to criminal behaviour as if a person who is living in these situation can end up
becoming a criminal minded person for Example economic factor include
UNEMPLOYMENT most people believe that the steady rise of unemployment
leads to a relative increase in crime. An individual lacks a source of
legitimate income when he/she is unemployed. This occurs when people
are laid off at the closure of a company or not able to be employed at
all .When a person is unemployed he is not able to buy the essentials that
he needed for his living so in order to fulfill his needs he either start to kill or
would prefer robbery to fulfill his needs of money and to fulfill his needs this
all leads to economic factor if a person had a better job he would not prefer
killing or doing robbery . some other important economical factors are low
wages , income inequality and many more .

MODEL 2 :
Geographical factors and how they lead to criminal
behavior :

smuggling drugs from his
area to the urban area
qualified and have less
skill and not qualified to
live in such enviourment
and find himself
unemployed

EXPLANATION : In this model it is clearly seen that the geographical

location also lead to criminal behavior . In geographical factor we will
discuss that Large population is one of the highlighting example that
cause the criminal behavior like I said that the place where there is Large
population the people to get the better facility and to earn the best living try
to cheat or harm or kill each other and will do any thing to get the thing they
wanted , if a child sees his father or mother doing this that they are killing
other to get the things that they don’t have he will start doing this in his
early ages to fulfill his needs because in a large or densely populated area
every one not enjoy equa;l or benefical right and that will convert this mind
into a criminal mind that they killv a person to get that facility or thing from
him many orther exapmples are also involved in the geographical factors
which are these LACK OF PROPER FACILITIES , PLACE FULL OF
PUB , ALCHOLIC Shops

frequently.

EXPLANATION : The family is the primary institute of socializationand it is

one of the first place where a child start to memorize what is good and bad,
it marks the start of socialization for most people. It assists young ones
assimilate their culture and identify their culture and community. The young
grow in a vicious association wherein they learn how to associate and
behave in different circumstances by observing their parents. A child
observed his parents arguing and portraying aggression over trivial issues
in his childhood. Frequent episodes of aggression made him insensitive to
aggression he presumed it as a part of every normal, regular relationship.
He developed intolerance to trivial issues and would resolve them using
aggression and violence. A child subjects his family to domestic violence
because of his aggression and intolerance that was instilled in him at
attender age.

EXPLANATION:

Model 5 :

How your peer groups lead to criminal behavior :

 A person and his friends SUBSTANCE ABUSE

Peer groups abuse drugs and narcotics Peers can encourage

pretty often for fun.He friends to use drugs and
perceives drug abuse as a alcohol or tease them for
leisure activity. being afraid to try them,
which can lead to the
initiation of drinking and
drug use

develops addiction for

drugs and cant go without
them for long.

Explanation:
Peers are people who are part of the same social group, so the term "peer
pressure" means the influence that peers can have on each other. Although
peer pressure does not necessarily have to be negative, the term
"pressure" implies that the process influences people to do things that may
be resistant to, or might not otherwise choose to do . Peer groups are made
up of people of similar age and social status and somewhat share similar
interests. They are important to adolescents in a new way as they begin to
develop an identity separate from their parents and exert independence. So
this explains that peers have a great effect on persons personality . a
written above when a person who has peer group who is more indulged
into deug abuse and drinking will also pressurize him to try these things he
will start it as a fun and uses it as a leisure time but after time he will
become a permanent drug addict and if he will not do this his friends will
make fun of him and to full fill its lust for drugs he will start to many other
crimes .
