Nowadays we can see that the crimes are increasing day by day. We try to come out from one traumatic incident when another happens. These incidents impact our overall mental health and physical health as well. These criminal behaviors are repeating because of many psychological factors, like negative thoughts, lack of empathy, and feelings of revenge. But what was the actual reason behind it?
Here are some psychological factors that actually contribute to repeating this criminal behavior:
1. Childhood trauma—there are so many experiences of physical and mental torture or abuse that considerably impact overall psychological well-being and increase a feeling of revenge in a child that later on engages in behavior.
2.
Mental disorder—Some mental conditions, like impulsivity and antisocial behavior, can increase the risk of criminal behavior that disturbs the individual's emotions.
3. Drug Addiction—Drug addiction can lead to criminal behavior that develops a feeling where an individual is not able to control his/her emotions.
4. Personality disorder—There are various personality disorders, aggression, lack of empathy, anger, and impulsivity lead to criminal behavior.
5. Neurobiological factor—Some abnormalities in a brain can also impact the overall behavior of an individual, which will further develop the criminal behavior.
6. Social pressure—Peer pressure can also expose one to unlawful activities that will influence the overall behavior of an individual.
These are the physiological behaviors that slowly impact the overall condition of an individual and make him/her adopt the criminal behaviour.
