INTRODUCTION SLIDE
Why do individuals commit crimes? At the same time, why is crime present in our
society? The criminal justice system is very concerned with these questions, and
criminologists are attempting to answer them. In actuality, the question of why
crime is committed is very difficult to answer. Because there are many different
explanations as to why individuals commit crime. Others manifest that crime
committed because of Greed, Poverty, Drugs, Unemployment but
One of the main explanations is based on psychological theories, which focus on
the association among intelligence, personality, learning, and criminal behavior.
II. PSYCHOLOGICAL THEORIES OF CRIME SLIDE

Psychological theories of crime say that criminal behavior is a result of

individual differences in thinking processes. There are many different
psychological theories, but they all believe that it is the person's thoughts and
feelings that dictate their actions. As such, problems in thinking can lead to
criminal behavior. Some doesn't believe that what he did was wrong

When examining or studying psychological theories of crime, we must cognizant

(alam) or know the three major psychological theories and what Are those theories
III. 3 MAJOR PSYCHOLOGICAL THEORIES SLIDE
 The first is psychodynamic theory
 The second is behavioral theory.
 The third is cognitive theory

1. PSYCHODYNAMIC THEORY, which is centered on the notion (kuru-kuro)

that an individual’s early childhood experience influences his or her likelihood for
committing future crimes.

EXPLANATION
It is a view that explains personality in terms of conscious and unconscious
(walang malay) forces, such as unconscious desires and beliefs. Psychodynamic
theories commonly hold that childhood experiences shape personality. Because of a
negligent, unhappy, or miserable childhood, which is most often characterized by a lack of love
and/or nurturing( Pagaalaga), a criminal offender has a weak (or absent) ego. Most important,
research suggests that having a weak ego (Pagkatao) is linked with poor or absence of social
etiquette, immaturity (MURANG KAISIPAN), and dependence on others. Research further
suggests that individuals with weak egos may be more likely to engage in drug abuse Robin

2. BEHAVIORAL THEORY. Behavioral theorists have expanded the work of

through behavior modeling and social learning.
Behavioral theory seeks to explain human behavior by analyzing the antecedents
(Pinagmulan and consequences(kahihinatnan) present in the individual's
environment and the learned associations he or she has acquired through previous
experience. This entry describes the various traditions within the behavioral
perspective (pananaw o pagkaunawa) and the clinical applications that are derived
from them. Common criticisms are discussed in light of the ongoing evolution of
behavioral theory and the fit of its tenets with the field of social work.
Explanation
 Behavioral theory seeks to explain human behavior by analyzing the
antecedents and consequences present in the individual's environment and
the learned associations he or she has acquired through previous experience.

 THE THIRD IS COGNITIVE THEORY Nagbibigay malay o kaalaman)the

major premise of which suggests that an individual’s perception and how it
is manifested (Jacoby, 2004) affect his or her potential to commit crime. In
other words, behavioral theory focuses on how an individual’s perception of
the world influences his or her behavior.

Cognitive Theory
Cognitive theory is based on the idea that cognitive processes are at the center of
behaviors, thoughts and emotions. It is largely based on the work of Albert Ellis
and Aaron Beck, which emphasizes what people think instead of what they do.
