Psychodinamic Theory

Explanation

How it applies to crime

Since the psychodynamic theory states that aggression is less easy to control when someone's childhood wasn't normal, it's easy to understand how it may easily be applied to most violent ceiminal cases, and it makes a lot of sense.

This theory states that human behaviour is caused by unconcious factors which we have no control over: nature(innate drives) and nurture(childhood experiences). It also says that instincts(sexual and aggressive) are developed in children and learned to control in adults(if their childhood wasn't problematic).

Additional Information

The theory was proposed by Sigmund Freud im the early 20s, and in the beginning it wasn't even meant to apply to crime. Sources: si.agilixbuzz.com, www.simplypsychology.org
