If the superego does not attain full strength the person is more likely to act on primitive impulses often of a violent nature. The psychology of organized crime: while sociological theories may identify societal variables that motivate involvement in organized crime, they fail to explain why only a small fraction of persons exposed to such variables actually become criminals. A psychotic is a person with a psychosis. A psychopath will have a behavioral or personality disorder. Diminished capacity to experience fear and anxiety.
