CRIMINAL PSYCHOLOGY
Basically, psychology is a branch of knowledge regarding human behavior. The person who is expert in
this field is called as psychologist who uses diferent methods and techniques of science in order to
investigate behavior and mental processes.
Psychologists in the early part of the history got interested in the study of crimes and criminals which
gave way for the birth of another branch of study, a sub field of psychology known as Criminal
Psychology. It is defined as the study of criminal activities, behavior and conduct in an attempt to
discover intermittent patterns and to create set of laws about his behavior.
In other references, criminal psychology studies criminal behavior, its nature and causes. Criminal
behavior refers to actions that are against the laws of the state and are accorded punishment. However,
whether a behavior is deemed a crime, and how severely it is condemned, varies from culture to culture
and depends on time, place, circurmstances, political system, economic and social conditions, and the
prevailing moral climate.These Considerations make it difficult to define what really Constitutes a
criminal act.
Sigmund Freud, the existence of crimes can be explained by the conflict of the three parts of human
psycho personality the ld, Ego and Superego most particularly the ld and Superego.
What is ld?
It refers to the unconscious Instinctual Drive of a person which is based on the Principle of Pleasure. It
contains all the urges and impulses including libido because the satisfaction of it gives enjoyment to the
person. Anything which feels good wants to experience and nothing else.
What is Ego?
It is the only part of the conscious personality that is dominated by the Principle of Reality. It tries to
mediate the demands of the ld and prohibition of the superego
Ego comprises that organized part of the personality structure which includes defensive, perceptual
intellectual-cognitive, and executive functions. Conscious awareness resides in the ego, although not all
of the operations of the ego are conscious. The ego separates what is real. It helps us to organize our
thoughts and make
What is Superego?
It is the conscience of man which is the unconscious part of our personality. It may be represented by
the voice of God, commandment of the community or self
In order to be normal, the three components, Id, Ego and Superego must be balanced otherwise, there
will be disharmony that will cause the person to become neurotic
Is there a criminal personality? Researchers have shown varied and contradictory findings as to whether
or not be distinctive personality pattern of the criminal or personality traits are considered causative
factors of criminal behavior. The following research findings however are worth considering:
•Studies on personality structures of criminals and non-criminals (prison inmates) show that inmates are
typically more impulsive, hostile, self-centere and immature than non-criminals.
•Studies comparing the personality traits of the social criminals (those who act in concert with others)
and the solitary criminals found out that the social criminals tend to be more sociable, affiliative,
outgoing, and self confident than the solitary criminals.
•Criminals are angry people who feel a sense of superiority, expect not to be held accountable for their
acts and have highly inflated self image. Any perceived attack on their glorified self-image elicits a strong
reaction, often a violent one.
•Researchers on personality profiles of criminals revealed that they are significantly similar in traits such
as deficient self-control, in tolerance, and lack of responsibility.
A personality disorder that is significantly linked to ciminality is the antisocial personalty otherwise
known as psychopathy or sociopathy. This is a personality charactorized by the inability to learn from
experience, lack of warmth, and absence of guilt. People with this kind of personality disorder live a life
of crime, violence, and delinquency. These individuals regularly violate the rights of others and show no
remorse when haming someone.
Psychopaths are seriously ill even if they do not appear to be one. They seem to have excellent mental
health, but what is seen is only a "mask of sanity" initially, they appear to be reliable and honest but
after sometimes, it will become clear that they have no sense of responsibility whatsoever. They show a
disregard for truth, are insincere, and feel no sense of shame, guilt or humiliation. Psychopaths also
cheat without hesitation and engage in verbal and physical abuse without any thought. (Adler, F 1998)
The question on whether or not intelligence (IQ)and ciminality are significantly related has also been the
focus of several researchers and a subject of debates. Findings of researchers vary resulting to different
opinions about the matter.
Early researchers found out a good majority of criminals tested for intelligence were shown to have a
low IQ. However, other reasoned out that social and environmental factors caused delinquency and not
IQ. Recent investigations on the matter have revealed the following findings:
•The effect of low IQ on delinquent behavior is more significant than father's education. A strong
relationship exists between low IQ and delinquency independent of social class. IQ is more closely
related to delinquency than in
The result of other researchers however rejected the findings. With children studied from birth to age
17, the researchers failed to confirm a direct relationship between
IQ and delinquency.
The conflicting findings of researchers and different opinions of experts simply that the debate on the
matter will still continue for a long long time.
Abnormal Behavior
It is a term that refers to behavior that is socially unacceptable. Many different psychological
perspectives can be used to determine the causes for abnormal behavior. The medical perspective has a
view that the causes of abnormal behavior are due to diseases, including mental illnesses. The behioral
perspective believes that the causes of abnommal behavior are due to a person not learning or being
conditioned to know how to behave. The psychodynamic perspective, cognitive perspective, and social-
cultural perspective are also used to explain why a
According to Psyc - INFO Database Record 2012, the causes of abnormal behavior are complex, and it is
not always possible to isolate and evaluate the multiple factors involved. Some of the difficulties are
listed below.
1. There are many varieties of mental deficiencies, psychoneuroses, psychoses, and antisocial
personalities, and each variety tends to have an independent etiology. It is not a question of what is the
cause of mental deficiency ,psychoneurosis, psychosis, and antisocial behavior, but rather what is the
cause of each specific clinical type included under these general headings.
2. Psychological disorders are usually due to the interaction of two or more agents. It is frequently
difficult to ascertain the relative importance of each contributory factor in almost all forms of hereditary
diseases, some account must be taken of environmental influences, and the inherent resistance level of
the organism is a complicating factor in all diseases of physiochemical or environmental origin.
3. The same symptom patterns may arise from a variety of different causes. Even when it is known that
certain factors are responsible for a specific type of psychoiogical disorder, it does not follow that these
factors are always present in the same degree in all patients exhibiting similar symptoms.
4. The symptoms of the abnomal are not always tailored to fit standard disease entities. Often it is
difficult to arrive at a definite diagnosis, and errors are quite common.These errors naturally complicate
the task of evaluating the causes of specific diseases. The contributions of heredity, constitution, the
endocrine glands, the nervous system, and psychological, social and cultural factors to psychopathology
are described.

SEXUAL DEVIANCY
Sexual deviance refers to unusual sexual behaviors generally defined in moral, medical or legal terms.
The term has always been a contested category as regards its meaning. In the ancient texts, pictures and
sculptures all over the world like the comprehensive textbook for sex “Kamasutra”, and explicit sexual
postures carved in stone in “Khajuraho” temple in india prove that fresh insights emerging from modern
research on sex were already common knowledge in very ancient and medieval cultures in many parts
of the world. With a process of socialization whereby society dictates behavioral expectations to people
and mostly due to moral and religious mores, normal sex, came to be understood as penile vaginal
intercourse probably because of the procreation clause attached to it.
Normal Sexuality
The biggest cause of suffering in relation to human sexuality is the commonly held idea that there is a
'normal' form of sexuality, and that this is in some way more acceptable, natural or good than other
forms.
This 'normal' sexuality looks like differ over time and in different cultures and communities. For
example, sex between men was expected in Ancient Greece and still is in many countries in the world, at
the same time as being regarded as a criminal act and then as a psychological disorder up until the
1950s and the 1970s in the UK. Similarly, solo sex (or masturbation) been regarded as a mundane
activity, a sin, a cause of illness, and the height of sexual pleasure, in different times and places.
The problem with having an idea of ‘normal‘ sexuality is that those who fit into the norm become very
scared of stepping outside it (and this may well lead to sexual problems). Think about the teenage girl
trying to decide when to have sex so as not to be seen as too tight or too easy. Those who are already
outside the perceived 'norm' are often treated as second class citizens, given fewer rights, and may even
be seen as sick or criminal. Consider the treatment of those who enjoy kinky sex.
When educating others about sex it is very important not to implicitly reinforce the importance of
'normal' sexuality. This can be completed through using diverse examples of sexual identities, desires
and practices throughout, and by reflecting on the problems with the idea of normal mentioned. It can
be useful to encourage a conversation about which forms of sexuality are currently seen as most ideal,
which less so, and what that is like for those involved. The heterosexuality questionnaire and straight
privilege checklist are helpful tools for this, as are the ideas in Gayle Rubin's (1984) chapter Thinking Sex.
It has also been recommended that, instead of focusing on what kind of sexuality are normal or not
normal, we focus on the difference between coercive and mutually consensual sex. It is never
acceptable to engage in sex which is coercive (where somebody feels forced into it by another person's
power, or because they feel it is expected of them, or because they aren't able to refuse). Any sex which
mutually consented to by those involved is acceptable regardless of how unusual it may be in this
particular time and place communicating about sex. Being able to consent requires a good
understanding of sexual possibilities, awareness of what our own desires, and the confidence to
communicate these and to accept, refuse or negotiate others' suggestions Healthy Sex.
The following are the different deviant sexual behaviors which lead to sex crimes classified as to:
1. Bestiality

Labeling Theory
This theory had its origins in Suicide a book by French sociologist Emile Durkheim. He found that crime is
not so much a violation of a penal code as it is an act that outrages society. He was the earliest to
suggest that deviant labeling satisfies that function and satisfies society's need to control the behavior.
This theory concerns itself mostly not with the normal roles that define our lives, but with those very
special roles that society provides for deviant behavior, called deviant roles, stigmatic roles, or social
stigma. A social role is a set of expectations we have about a behavior. Social roles are necessary for the
organization and functioning of
any society or group. We expect the postman, for example, to adhere to certain fixed rules about how
he does his job. "Deviance" for a sociologist does not mean morally wrong, but rather behavior that is
condemned by society. Deviant behavior can include both criminal and non-criminal activities.
Labeiing theory is concerned with how the self identity and behavior of individuals may be determined
or influenced by the terms used to describe or classify them. It is associated with the concepts of seif-
fulfilling prophecy and stereotyping. This holds that deviance is not inherent to
an act. but instead focuses on the tendency of majorities to negatively label minorities or those seen as
deviant from standard cultural norms.
The theory was prominent during the 1960s and 1970s, and some modified versions of the theory have
developed and are still currently popular, Unwanted descriptors or categorizations - including terms
related to deviance, disability or diagnosis of a mental disorder may be rejected on the basis that they
are merely "labels", often with attempts to adopt a more constructive language in its place. A stigma is
defined as a powerfully negative label that changes a person's self-concept and social identity.
Sexual deviants almost never voluntarily search for therapeutic treatment for the simple reason that
they do not identify their condition as a typical sexual behavior. They meet a doctor only when an
unwilling partner or a victim decides to take legal action or when concerned family members who have
detected a paraphilic behavior refer and compel them to benefit from a mental health system. Also,
given the enormous pleasure sexually deviant people derive from their paraphilic behaviors they are
reluctant to change their compulsive behavior and hinder therapeutic treatments especially
psychotherapy and behavior therapies.
Psychotherapy
lt is a non-invasive handling where a client and the therapist (usually a psychiatrist or a trained social
worker) converse for a period of time each week to help the person overcome powerful urges that
dictate paraphilic behaviors. This method has not proved very efficient even in the case of cognitive
therapy where the therapist tries to change the mindset of the sexually deviant person. Cognitive
therapists try to change a person's maladaptive abnormal sexual behaviors by changing what he thinks
about these acts. The reason why these therapies meet with very little success is that, other than the
obsessive nature of deriving pleasure from such acts, the clients believe that the problems associated
with these sexual acts stem from society's intolerance of their variant sexual behaviors. (http; www.

CRISIS MANAGEMENT
The word crisis came from the Greek word krises, which means “to separate”. Crisis refers to a turning
point in the progress of an affair or series of events. On the other hand. the word management came
from Italian maneggiare, which means "to handle.“ especially “to control a horse,“ and also from Latin
manus, which means 'hand.’ Management refers to the process of directing and controlling people and

hostage taker who is bent on killing himself is a non-negotiable case. If he is not bent on killing himself,
his intent therefore is to free the hostage and not to harm him.
Below are the three (3) major types of hostage taker. (TM SP SP)
1. Terrorists
They are those who use force to achieve a potitical end. They intimidate or coerce a government,
individuals or groups to modify their behavior or policies. They are ideologically inspired individuals or
groups who want prestige and power for a collective goal or higher cause. They are also viewed as
psychopathic with a cause, under a leader of the group. When caught they rationalize by claiming to be
revolutionaries, a situation they resolve to die for the cause.
2. Mentally deranged
3. Severe depression
He suffers an intense feeling of sadness and misery, which are unwarranted by his physical condition
and external environment.
He is characterized by continuing violation of the rights of others through aggressive harmful behavior
without remorse or loyalty to anyone.
5. Sociopathic personality
6. Paranoid
N - Network
A pool of contact is undisputedly essential to the success of every negotiation. Information would be
obtained easier and faster if the negotiator has developed good contacts or sources of information.
E - Enthusiasm
No negotiator would become successful in his objectives if he does not possess this quality.
G - Guts
A good negotiator has an incomparable courage to face several tremendous obstacles along his way. He
should have a moral fortitude to deal with the dangerous hostage takers.
O - Optimistic
Positive thinking no matter how difficult the situation is, would attract positive spirit that would result to
positive outcome.
T - Tactfulness
It is the ability to deal with other people effectively without offending them.
I- Integrity
He should maintain his integrity and honesty and should exude a trustworthy personality and sincerity.
Acting- Ability
It is the ability to go down to the level of the lower strata, minor, squatters or even the level of the elite,
noble or professional. A sweet tongue trait is the key to a successful negotiation,
T- Talented
Being versatile is a key to adapt and be on the top of different situations that would be encountered by
the negotiator in his mission.
O- Observant
A negotiator must be vigilant all the times. He should possessed knowledge in psychology and can read
between the lines to better assess the situation.
R- Research Oriented
This quality makes the negotiator go beyond the usual beliefs and practice. This would help him discover
new ways and techniques to solve a problem.
NEGOTIATORS shall be designated by the GROUND COMMANDER. No one shall be allowed to talk to the
HOSTAGE-TAKER/S without clearance from the NEGOTIATOR or ground commander. (Rule 26, section 3
of the 2010 PNP Operational Procedure)
One of the notable inquiries revealed a startling result. The case, which happened in Stockholm,
Sweden, involved female hostages who were held, together with the robbers, in a vault for several days.
It has been observed that there has been a change of values-set on the part of the hostages after their
release; they expressed strong attachment to their captors, to the point of not testifying against them.
It was evident that, what could have changed or motivated the change in the value-set of the hostages
were: the good treatment they received from their captors, the long hours of discussion they had with
their captors making them believed that their captors had good mission, and thereby, after all their
captors are not really bad, but have a good cause or purpose. This phenomenon is popularly known
today as the “Stockholm Syndrome.’
This perhaps could also explain the case of Patricia Hearst, heir of a millionaire newspapers publisher,
who joined the Symbionese Army, who robbed, killed terrorized them with a cause. To know:
1. Several negotiators should be trained with knowledge of different dialects or each of the major
dialects of the Philippines. The group to train in various locations of the place (city, town etc.) on
probable site of incidents, routes and place of destinations (air terminals to attune them on various
situations).
2. Psychology - analyze various situations and develop strategies using psychological technique rather
than to obtain release of hostages. Point of training is to provide basis for understanding and
anticipating hostage takers’ moves, as well as possible reactions to police tactics.
Example: House location of site of incident; negotiator after having agreed with hostage taker to
negotiate face-to-face. may shout, “I am coming to see you there.” He does come with bullet proof vest
slowly delayed (with some stealthily and slowly climbing the house to grab and apprehend hostage. The
lone hostage will surely be trying to witness the approaching negotiator, to see if armed, etc.
Example: A hostage taker demands to talk and hold conference with media-men for publicity. Granted
request with all participants coming with ID and dressed in uniform of major newspapers (some
participants coming from authorities to apprehend him, right coming out from the door or at the site of
conference room).
3. Physical Training - physical conditioning, weapon disarming method and unarmed self-defense.
4. Firearms .38 and .45 caliber, sniper scope rifle; shotgun (double barrel); sub-machine gun; tear gas
launcher with bullet proof vest.
5. Electronic Equipment familiarization with the use of monophony, wireless transmitter, electric
tracking devices, walkie-talkie. etc.
6. Emergency Rescue Ambulance - how to use or operate auxiliary equipments; public address system;
fire unit; first aid gear-ambulance may be used as a safe base to start negotiation.
7. Vehicle Operation - escape vehicle and chase vehicle with attention placed on street and routes from
various locations in the site of incidents to destination (airport or other terminals).
8. Liaison - jurisdiction matters cleared; cooperation with other agencies routes must be sought.
Upon arrival at the scene of incident the negoriator should execute / act immediately the following:
1. Containment controlling situation and area by people involved. Other people / by standers must be
obliged to get out from the area as they may add more problems.
2. Establish Contact immediately after positioning at advantage position, communicate with the leader.
He may introduce himself by saying “My name is , I am a . I am willing to help.” Never tell him your rank;
the hostage taker might think you can give all. So that he may ask for impossible demand. Neither
should the negotiator give the feeling that he has the authority to decide. Do not bluff. Deal only with
the leader to avoid complication and further demand.
3. Time Lengthening - give more time to the police to organize and coordinate plan of action.
4. Telephone Negotiation Technique - Be the caller, plan and prepare, be ready with graceful exit, and
discipline yourself to listen. Do not tell that you are the commander, neither your rank. Use delaying
tactics to wear down the hostage takers(s), physically and psychologically. Give time for the police to
organize and coordinate plans or course of action. Where the demand is impossible to get, stall time by
explaining that you still need to talk to other people. Hold on to your concession. But when concession is
granted, try to get something in return. Say, a grant of food, get the release of sick or old people in
exchange. When there is no demand, hostage taker may really have no demand at all.
5. Need of face-to-face - Don‘t be over anxious, prepare for proper psychological, physical and
emotional confrontation. Wear body armor, possess a weapon, but if asks to come without weapon,
ensure that they too should lay down arms before entering. In entering, see to it that you are protected
with tactical back up. And consider that hostage taker might have body trap in some portions of the area
- door or window of the building. Coming up on face-to-face situation, maintain proper distance,
observe their movement. Elicit a promise or motivate them to surrender. In retreating, or in getting out
of the room, face hostage takers slowly back out of the door with good cover or tactical back up.
6. Surrender approach - start with a position approach, act as if hostage taker will surrender. Do not talk
too much. Gradually ask him to surrender. Reassurance is the wisest thing to do. Talk details of
surrender process. And explain why now is better that later.
2. He may make impossible demands, knowing that he is dealing with the commander.
2. Gives more time for authorities to plan and coordinate course of action.

Weapons, ammunitions
