Compare And Contrast Psychodynamic Theory And Latent Trait Theory
THE COMPARISON AND CONTRAST OF CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR
Since the beginning of time crime was among us, but in today’s society there are researchers, scientist, doctors, and psychiatrist cramming to find ways and solutions to the behavior that make criminals do what they do. For every violent crime, non-violent crime, major crime, petty crime, reported crime and unreported crime, according to scientist there is a reason behind each one of them. Let’s define the word crime, it is a violation of social rules of conduct, interpreted and expressed by a written criminal code, created by people holding social and political power (Siege & Worrall, 2010)These people holding those powerful positions can make the rules but can’t determine the status in which they’re played, and that’s the reasoning for the scientist, doctors and countless other professionals developing theories and crime reports. Based on the readings, I have chosen three theories that I will compare the similarities and discuss the contrasting issues within each one. The three theories I have chosen are, the Psychodynamic Theory, the Behavioral Theory, and the Latent Trait Theory. The first theory I …show more content…

It is a personal proven fact that if a person sits long enough in solidarity his or her mind will wonder into the realm of chaos and havoc. Let’s look at the definition of Latent; Webster’s says it’s present and capable of becoming through not now visible, obvious, or active. The synonym for this word, as Webster’s listed is Dormant; suggests the inactivity of something (as a feeling or power). (Merrian & Webster,
