Chapter 2: Origins of Criminal Behaviour: Developmental Risk Factors
- Antisocial Behaviour can come from the kids past
Developmental Pathway – the characteristics of which often can be identified at a very early
age.
- The more antisocial activity you are shown, the chances of you committing crimes is
much higher
- Youth living under poverty conditions are more likely to attend inadequate schools,
drop out of school, be unemployed, carry a firearm, be victimized and be a witness to a
variety of violent events.
- If a child is abused or hit, it can carry on to the next generation and make an impact on
their life after
- Children who have aggressive behaviour are usually rejected by their peers
- The kids that usually are born in bad conditions usually end up getting ADHD, and that
leads to them being confused and getting antisocial
- Relational aggression is the tendency to hurt others and diminish their social status by
words, shunning or other nonphysical methods
Gang or Deviant Group Influences
- 3 major perspectives
1) youngsters become delinquent due to a direct result of association with deviant
peer groups.
2) Peer rejected kids look out and seek acceptance from other peer rejected kids with
similar socially unskillful peers
3) Childhood peer rejection encourages children to participate in deviant peer groups
and then amplify tendencies to become more deviant and antisocial.
After-school care
- Kids who spend large amounts of time unsupervised after school self-care in early
elementary their behaviour problems are elevated
- Early school failure is linked to antisocial development and delinquency
