THIS IS THE 2ND MODULE OF OUR SUBJECT THEORIES OF CRIME CAUSATION IN OUR MIDTERM

PERIOD. THIS MODULE IS ENTITLED “EXPLORING THE BIOLOGICAL THEORIES OF CRIME CAUSATION”
THIS MODULE WAS PREPARED AND EXPLAINED BY OUR MOST KIND TEACHER IN THIS COURSE MS.
ROCHELLE MISOLA. ACCORDING TO HER, CESARE LOMBROSO IS THE FOUNDER OF THE BIOLOGICAL
DETERMINISM. IN HIS POSITIVISM THEORY EXPLAINED THAT CRIMINALITY IS INBORN IN A MAN OR A
PERSON THAT THE MODERN CRIMINOLOGIST WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH HIS THEORIES THAT WHY THIS
TOPIC WAS MADE THE BIOLOGICAL THEORIES OF CRIME CAUSATION BECAUSE OF THE MODERN
CRIMINOLOGIST THAT STUDIES THE BIOLOGICAL AND SOCIOLOGICAL THEORIES. THEY COMBINED THE
BIOLOGICAL AND SOCIOLOGICAL THEORY SO BIOSOCIAL WAS MADE BECAUSE OF THE RESEARCH AND
STUDY OF THE MODERN CRIMINOLOGISTS.

THE FIRST LESSON IS ALL ABOUT THE BIOSOCIAL THEORY. BIOSOCIAL THEORY IS THE
COMBINATION OF BIOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL BASES IN WHICH THE THOUGHTS AND BEHAVIOR OF A
PERSON WAS BASED ON THE BIOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL FACTORS. WHEN WE SAY PREDISPOSITION, IT
MEANS IT BELONGS TO THE BIOLOGICAL FACTOR OF A HUMAN AND WHEN WE SAY ENVIRONMENT IT
MEANS IT BELONGS TO THE SOCIAL FACTORS THAT WILL RESULT IN CRIMINALITY. BIOSOCIAL THEORY
HAS THREE DISTINCT AREAS OF STUDY, THE FIRST ONE IS THE BIOCHEMICAL FACTORS BASED ON THIS
FACTOR IT RELIEVES THE ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOR OF A PERSON BECAUSE THE PERSON DISRESPECTS OR
VIOLATES THE SOCIAL NORMS AND RULES OR HE OR SHE VIOLATES THE IMPLEMENTED RULE OR LAW IN
A SOCIETY. THE REASON OF THE BIOCHEMICAL AND BODY CHEMISTRY WHICH CAN CAUSE BEHAVIORAL
DISORDER AND NOT PLEASANT PERSONALITY. THE SECOND FACTOR IS THE NEUROLOGICAL FACTOR
THIS TOPIC PERTAINS TO THE NERVOUS SYSTEM OR THE BRAIN AND SPINAL CHORD OF A PERSON. THE
NEUROENDOCRINE SYSTEM IS ONE OF THE SYSTEMS IN A HUMAN. WHICH CONTROLS THE BRAIN
CHEMISTRY AND IT IS THE MAIN REASON WHY HUMANS BECOME VIOLENT AND AGGRESSIVE. THE NEXT
TOPIC BELOW THE OR AFTER THE NEUROENDOCRINE SYSTEM IS THE ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOR. ANTI-
SOCIAL BEHAVIOR OF A HUMAN OR THE REASON WHY HE OR SHE COMMITS A CRIME IS BECAUSE OF
THE IMBALANCE OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM WHICH RESULTED IN A CRIMINALITY. UNDER THE
NEUROENDOCRINE SYSTEM IS THE NEUROTRANSMITTERS WHICH ARE THE ENZYMES OR CHEMICAL
COMPOUND THAT INFLUENCES OR AFFECT THE NORMAL FUNCTIONING OF THE BRAIN OF A PERSON.
EXAMPLES OF THE DIFFERENT ENZYMES OF THE NEUROTRANSMITTER ARE THE DOPAMINE,
SEROTONIN, AND MONOAMINE. THE THIRD AND LAST DISTINCT AREA OF STUDY IS GENETIC INFLUENCE
FROM THE WORD GENETIC THE CRIMINALITY OR THE ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOR OF A PERSON CAN BE
INHERITED THROUGH THE GENES OR THE TRANSMISSION OF TRAITS. THERE ARE THREE FACTORS
UNDER THE GENETIC INFLUENCE, FIRST IS THE PARENT-CHILD SIMILARITIES FOR EXAMPLE THE
CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR OF THE PARENTS CAN BE INHERITED FROM THE CHILDREN OR CAN BE ALSO
CLASSIFIED AS HEREDITARY. THERE IS ALSO THE THEORY THAT IT CAN BE CONTINUOUSLY INHERITED BY
EVERY GENERATION. SECOND IS THE SIBLING AND TWIN SIMILARITIES JUST LIKE IN THE PARENT-CHILD
SIMILARITIES IT POSSIBLY INHERITED TO OTHER SIBLINGS OR YOU AND YOUR SIBLINGS HAS SAME
BEHAVIOR THAT INHERITED TO YOU BY YOUR PARENTS. THIRD IS THE ADOPTION STUDIES, ADOPTEES
CANNOT BE INHERITED BY THEIR ADOPTIVE ONLY THE BIOLOGICAL PARENTS BECAUSE THE GENES OF
THE BIOLOGICAL PARENTS ARE THE SAME. THE SECOND LESSON OR THE LESSON 2 IS ALL ABOUT
EVOLUTIONARY THEORY IT IS THE STUDY OF HOW TO DEVELOP THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A PERSON. OR
IT IS ALL DEFINED AS THE REPRODUCTION OF A MANKIND. IN THIS TOPIC VIOLENCE HAS A POSITIVE
MEANING BECAUSE IT HELPS THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE STRATEGY OR IT HELPS THE MALES TO EASILY
ATTRACT FEMALES AND ALSO TO REPRODUCE. UNDER THE EVOLUTIONARY IS THE CHEATER THEORY,
WHAT COMES TO OUR MIND WHEN WE SAY CHEATER IS THE BEHAVIOR WHEN THE LOVE DID WRONG
OR THE PARTNER ACT DISHONESTY TO HIS OR HER PARTNER. BUT WHEN WE SAY CHEATER THEORY IN
BIOLOGICAL THEORIES OF CRIME CAUSATION MEN ARE THE EXTREMELY INVOLVED WHEN IT COMES TO
CHEATING OR KNOWN AS CHEATERS BECAUSE IN THIS THEORY MEN ARE MORE SEXUALLY AGGRESSIVE.
THIS THEORY ALSO EXPLAINED THAT MEN JUST WANTED TO REPRODUCE BUT WHEN THE CHILD WAS
BORN MEN DON’T CARE ANYMORE ABOUT THE CHILD. THERE ARE ALSO MEN WHO ARE NO LONGER
CONTROL THEIR EMOTIONS OR BEHAVIOR MAN WILL BE ABLE TO RAPE INNOCENT WOMEN. THE LAST
THEORY IN EVOLUTIONARY THEORY IS THE R/K SELECTION THEORY. R-END FOCUSES ON THE QUANTITY
RATHER THAN THE QUALITY. MEN ARE FOCUSED ON THE GROWTH RATE AND REPRODUCE RAPIDLY. IN
THIS TOPIC LOTS OF CRIMES WAS OCCURRED EXAMPLE RAPES, PHYSICAL HARASSMENT TO WOMEN
AND ETC. AND THE K-END FOCUSES ON THE QUALITY RATHER THAN THE QUANTITY. THIS TOPIC
WOMEN WANT TO REPRODUCE SLOWLY AND CAUTIOUSLY. THIS CATEGORY WAWS FIT ON FEMALES OR
WOMEN THEY PRODUCE MORE COOPERATIVE AND SENSITIVE OFFSPRING.
