The Authoritarian Motto, "A Child Must Be Trained and Controlled!" Victorian authoritarian parents weren’t strict with their children not because they didn’t love them just the opposite. It didn’t matter if the children were happy from the inside. The parents just wanted to make sure that the outside was well. The early 20th century it was consider dangerous to show love. American behavioral psychologist John Broadus Watson warns against using “too much mother love” in child rearing as it may lead to spoilt children.

Now that seems to be all I do and I try and figure out other parent’s styles, hope that doesn’t seem weird. Diana Baumrind is a clinical and developmental psychologist known for her research on parenting styles and for her critique of the use of deception in psychological research. Baumrind came up with three styles of parenting the first Authoritative parents are lively and happy disposition, the self –confidence to master a task, well developed emotion regulation, and less rigid about gender- typed traits. These type of parent has rules but also let’s their child have some input in things. Authoritarian parents are withdrawn and unhappy and anxious disposition, not likely to engage in antisocial activities (drugs, gangs and vandalism) and they do well in school. Studies show that the education part of these parents is comparable to Authoritative parenting.

Byron M. Roth reports that the way you raise your child has no bearing on if they commit a crime.

We have prisons all over the United Stated filled with people who have committed some type of crime, how did this come about if the way they were raised has no real connection to their outcome. Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahner, and John Wayne Gacy just to name a few. Those men had abnormal childhoods not to excuse the actions they took it could hold some insight with the decisions they made. All four had parent issues either with their mother or father some both. Roth suggests, “that those with IQ’s in the bottom 5 percent are 14 times likely to have been incarcerated.” Bruce Pennington and Loisa Bennetto of the University of Denver dispute that psychopathic traits are often present in people who have sustained frontal lobe damage. The frontal lobe controls things like impulse control, foresight, and emotional responsiveness so if this area has been damage it’s possible this could explain how someone could commit some of the horrific crimes we hear
