INTRODUCTION: What makes people differ from one another? Does people behave in the way they born from the life experience? This is the great debate of Psychologists as Nature vs. Nurture. It is also an important topic in Psychology, Sociology and in Philosophy. Though people are predetermined by genes, they change what they want to be through their life experiences. Features, characters or qualities we inherit is known as Nature. What people learn from society and reflect it is known as Nurture. Crime is an act which occur from early days. It must be discovered and prevent it. There are so many theories to determine the criminal behaviour. The main theory is by biology (Genes) and by social learning. This

It means they may inherit. This theory do not have solid evidence, but there some research to show the Biological Approach. “The Brain Is The Organ Of Behaviour, No Theory Of Behaviour Can Ignore Neurology And Neurochemistry”,(Clarance Ray Jaffery, Bio criminologist). Early expectations says that, criminals have some common physical shape like huge jaws, asymmetrical faces and large ears. These are the genetical symptoms. Genes, Hormones, Neurotransmitters, Nervous system, and Psychological Features tells criminal behaviour. The study shows that, an individual’s intelligence and appearance depends on the genes which inherit. Cesere Lombroso(1876) argued that the physical shape of the head and face determine the “Brain Criminal”. William Sheldon says that humans body are classified into 3 body shapes with 3 different personality. ENDOMORPHIC (Fat and Soft)- Tend to be soft and relaxed, ECTOMORPHIC (Thin and Fragile)-Introverted and Restrained, MESOMORPHIC (Muscular and Hard)-Aggressive and Adventure. Genetic theories prove that male crime is due to genetic transmission of certain mental or physical characters. The chromosome theory also supports that criminal are born. Blood-chemistry disorders that heighten anti-social activity. Individuals who have imbalance of hormones and abnormality may lead to perform criminal behaviour. Biological predisposition could be an influencing factor which …show more content…
Crime is the reflection of something larger and deeper(Richard Quimerry,Northetrn Illinois University). If the person is labelled as criminal,it creates stigma for people who suffer from Psychological problems. In humanistic approach people have free will and everyone is unique in their own way. “Humans are motivated by personal growth and fulfillment in life”, (Combs, Arthur Richards, Cohen Richards,Lanham,1976). Some may force to the criminal behaviour to earn better and accepted by society. That way, Cognitive Behaviour and Humanistic Approach play a role in criminal behaviour. Our behaviour is based on the internal process like thinking. Though cognitive approach does not give practical explanations, it gives valid evidence to criminal behavoiur. Family members, community, mass media may also create a criminal mind in some individuals. Sometimes the people may obey, those with the power authorities to avoid punishment from them. Sometimes people won’t consider others interest. To satisfy their own self, they may get into crime. Actually what makes people do crime..? To make their family happy and to settle in the surrounding they think to become a high class family. So they may follow the wrong route what is
