Development of Criminal Behavior

   Some researchers and theorists believe that an interaction of both   psychological factors (e.g., biology, personality, and cognitive) and   sociological factors can explain criminal behavior. Which psychological and   sociological factors do you believe have the most influence on the   development of criminal behavior, and why? Do you believe that psychological   factors or sociological factors have more of an influence over behavior, or   is it a combination of the two? Please be sure to provide an example of a   criminal case to support your discussion.
 

  Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims   with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources,   and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’   posts by Day 7. Be sure to include what psychological and sociological   factors you feel have the most influence on behavior, and whether you agree   with your peer’s views.
