Criminal psychology-key search guide

Generally, when approaching a criminal mind, three key factors are taken into account in the development of criminality: genetic, environmental and social factors. The first refers to all those characteristics that are natural to the individual and predispose him or her to behave in a certain way.

Environmental factors refer to how the offender’s childhood and adolescence developed, his or her most intimate and familiar environment. And finally, although not in order of importance, social factors refer to the environment on a broader scale, such as social relationships outside the home.
