people progress through five
overlapping stages of development. These are the oral, anal, phallic, latency, and
genital stages. personality is composed of three forces: the id, the ego, id, and the superego. The theory holds that the ego and superego are developed through the successful resolution of conflicts presented at each stage of development.

69
Q

id

A

the most inaccessible and
primitive part of the mind. It is a
reservoir of biological urges that
strive continually for gratification.

70
Q

ego

A

the rational part of the personality.
It mediates between the id and
the superego and is responsible
for dealing with reality and making
decisions.

71
Q

superego

A

the ethical and moral dimensions
of personality; an individual’s
conscience.

72
Q

psychoanalytic theories on criminal behavior

criminal acts to subconsciously invite punishment in an attempt to assuage
this guilt.

76
Q

Warren and Hindelang (1979) have summarized five other interpretations of
criminal behaviour that can be derived from psychoanalytic theory:

A
  1. Criminal behaviour is a form of neurosis that does not differ in any funda-
    mental way from other forms of neurosis (e.g., while some neurotics work
    too hard, others set fires).
  2. The criminal often suffers from a compulsive need for punishment in order
    to alleviate guilt feelings and anxiety stemming from unconscious strivings.
  3. Criminal activity may be a means of obtaining substitute gratification of
    needs and desires not met inside the family.
  4. Delinquent behaviour is often due to traumatic events whose memory has
    been repressed.
  5. Delinquent behaviour may be an expression of displaced hostility.*
77

generation. Criminal behaviour may have served an adaptive function for prehistoric humans.

79
Q

reproductive fitness variance

A

The range of possible offspring an
organism can produce. used to account for the sex disparities in relation to crime. afabs are more limited with they number of offspring they can have compared to amabs. afabs are more invested parentally and act in ways that are less risky and deviant

flawed as it excuses amab crimes and acts as it if it were predetermined

Q

Eysenck’s Theory of Crime and Personality

A

Law-abiding people must develop a conditioned fear of deviance. Those who become delinquents and criminals do not

will ensure people do not find lawbreaking to be in their best interests.

101
Q

Does Imprisonment Deter Crime?

A

no, that long prison sentences “are difficult
to justify on a deterrence-based, crime prevention basis”

offenders may adjust to prison life so that the threat of prison does not deter them;
they may learn criminal values and skills in prison; or imprisonment may create feelings of resentment against society, increasing reoffending rates

102
Q

Do Mandatory Minimum Sentences
Deter Crime?

A

The high social and financial costs of mandatory minimum sentences
might be worthwhile if they reduced crime rates. However, they do not.

Why don’t these severe penalties deter crime? One reason is that offenders
may not feel they are at risk of getting caught. Potential offenders are actually
correct in believing that their next crime is unlikely to lead to punishment.

Deterrence is also affected by the fact that many offenders have alcohol, drug,
or mental health issues that may lead them to make bad decisions

103
Q

The Impact of Increasing the Certainty
of Punishment

Increasing the severity of punishment beyond current levels does not seem to
have a deterrent effect.

the legal system does keep its
promises.
