Just: True Crimes with Robet Riggs

Listen Later

IN this episode, I sat down with the host of "The True Crimes Podcast," and we talked about the fascinating world of the psychology of criminals.

  • Biologically, genetics, brain function, and neurochemical imbalances can predispose individuals to criminal behaviour.
  • Psychologically, conditions like personality disorders (e.g., antisocial personality disorder), psychopathy, childhood trauma, and cognitive distortions can influence criminal actions.
  • Sociologically, factors like social learning, strain from societal pressures, labelling, and economic inequality play a role in crime. Growing up in environments where crime is common can normalize criminal behaviour.
  • Environmental factors such as peer influence, community conditions, and neighbourhood crime rates can encourage criminal actions.
  • Mental illness can sometimes contribute to criminal behaviour, though most people with mental health issues do not engage in crime.

    • Delve into the minds of criminals, their motivations, and the factors that contribute to their behaviour. Gain insights and knowledge about the criminal mind in this captivating podcast series.
