I need some Ideas for a criminology paper?

Question

I need some examples of physical, environmental, and social factors that may affect criminal behavior.

Answer 1

There are thousands of those. Poverty is a social and environmental factor. Why don't you do it on whether neighrbood watches really work to reduce crime, or whether crime goes up or down in a heat wave, or during the full moon.

Answer 2

Criminogenic needs...Look online for "What Works" or "evidence based practices". There is a tool used called the LSI-R that is used by many states to determine criminogenic needs. There are many factors contributing to criminology. Lack of education, addiction, poverty, high crime nieghborhoods, family history of crime or addiction, mental illness, the younger someone is when they first commit a crime the higher risk they are to re offend. I work in the criminal justice field. I have found that lower education, addiction and poor work history really contribute to criminology. Also mental illness. Unfortunately many of our country's mentally ill go untreated, and resort to crime to either self medicate or for survivial.

Answer 3

Physical: rap/hip-hop apparel leads to gangs and gang shootings in urban cities.
Environmental: little too broad...are you talking about air quality, mother nature environment, or the man-made environment?
Social factors: again, rap/hip-hop, and economical (ie. poor people struggling to survive so they...steal a loaf of bread, let's say)

Anymore questions, feel free to e-mail me [e-mail]

Oh, I forgot to mention that the current fad in rap and hip-hop and its effects in urban cities were the easiest papers I have ever written. It's so simple to research and form your own thesis.

Answer 4

You could research this on line and find a million factors:
Alcoholism, child abuse. living in the ghetto and getting post traumatic stress disorder. having parents that don't speak English and don't understand the local cultrue

Answer 5

try the book, "A Child Called It"

I know that you are looking for reasons to explain why people do the things that they do,(you know they had a hard childhood, so they feel justified in stealing, robbing, raping, murdering, etc.)
This book leads one to wonder if those "excuses" of a bad childhood are not just that-"excuses" for them to make the decisions that they make, yet have a reason why they should not have to pay for those choices.

Answer 6

Try the impact of single mothers, location in inner cities near gangs, poverty, socioeconomic status,

Answer 7

Individual disabilities (such as mobility impairments), geographic location, education, family structure, family history, etc.

Answer 8

Talk to a criminologist lawyer.
