http://www.cas.usf.edu/criminology/po3610c.html

Extractions: BIOLOGICAL, PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BIOSOCIAL THEORIES Biological theories have appeared since the 16th century human physiognomy of J. Babtiste della Porte (1535-1615). He studied the relationship between crime and the human body. John Casper Lavater (1741-1801) claimed to have identified relationship between crime and facial features. In 1810 Franz Joseph Gall developed his famous work on craniology or phrenology in which he hypothesized that crime was one of the behaviors organically controlled by a specific area of the brain. Criminality could be analyzed by measuring bumps on the head. BIOLOGICAL, PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BIOSOCIAL THEORIES ASSUMPTIONS A major assumption is that humans have unique characteristics, that under certain conditions, or environments, lead some to commit criminal acts. Said another way, something within the person strongly influences his/her behavior, but will only come out in certain environments. For the early biological criminologists the key to understanding crime was to study the criminal actor not the act. These early biological oriented criminologists stressed rigorous and careful observation in their study of human features.

SOC324 TR 930, 1100. The class focuses on the causes and forms of crime and theresponses of society and the criminal justice system to criminal behavior.
http://www.uncg.edu/soc/courses.html

Extractions: Three people in a group comprise a triad. Its structural properties can be quite complicated. Suppose one person is more powerful than the other two. Would it be wise for either of the two weaker persons to make an alliance with the strong member, or should the two weaker members stick together? Sociology is the study of social structures and how they absorb the time and energy of individuals and shape their behavior. Sociologists study small structures like the triad above and also larger social structures such as voluntary associations, bureaucracies, cities, societies and even systems of societies. (By the way, it would be wiser for the two weak members to join forces against the strong member). This course has been approved for SB/CSB/GSB credit. Social Problems TR 9:30, 2:00 What is a social problem? Who defines problems and how? What kinds of evidence do sociologists require for understanding social problems? What are the underlying causes of problems and what do those causes suggest about the best possible solutions? Members of the class will seek answers to these questions in relation to several specific problems chosen by the instructor and by the class. The course is open to freshmen and is approved for SB/CSB/GSB credit. The course will be taught by Tina Long. Sociology of Deviant Behavior MWF 12:00, 1:00; TR 11:00. The three central questions regarding deviance (How is it defined? Why do people commit deviant acts? How does society control deviant behavior?) will be explored. Specific issues, such as attempts to control teenage sexuality, the proliferation of surveillance tools, the war on drugs, and the expansion of prisons will provide the context for approaching these questions. The MWF sections will be taught by Steve Sherman. The TR section will be taught by Julie Brown. The course is open to freshmen and is approved for SB/CSB/GSB requirements.
What Is To Blame For Youth Violence?
powerful in shaping behavior. However, there are very few studiesof whether exposure to media violence causes criminal behavior.
http://www.center4policy.org/violencej.html

Extractions: The first-ever Surgeon General's report on youth violence was recently released by Dr. David Satcher, a Clinton appointee who still holds his position in the Bush Administration. The report hardly made a ripple in the public debate, but what caught my attention was the press reports regarding what wasn't in the report, rather than what was. In a press conference when the report was released, Dr. Satcher was asked about media violence, and he responded that the media is not a major influence on youth violence. As someone who has read dozens of studies and reports about the impact of media violence on children and society, I was surprised to hear this. It sounded eerily like a recent report on ABC's 20/20 claiming that media violence does not cause violence and may actually be good for kids. But what about the voluminous stack of research reports on the impact of media violence on youth? When a TV news magazine claims that TV violence is not dangerous, I don't take it too seriously, but the Surgeon General's report was a different matter. More importantly, I wondered how parents and others would respond to the "news." This article takes a careful look at the new report, the 20/20 story, and the research on media violence, and tries to figure out what is going on.

Extractions: All Sub-Topics Policy Dimensions Civil War Onset Civil War Termination Economic causes ... Related Sites The second core part of our research project focuses on The Economics of Crime and Violence. Here we try to uncover the economic causes of crime and violence using the same analytical approach that we outlined in previous sections. We are interested in identifying the similarities and differences between crime and violence at the micro-level and the macro-level (civil wars). We also aim to develop a host of policy recommendations on how the incidence of violence crime might be reduced and its social impact mitigated. There are several components to the Crime and Violence part of our project. We summarize these components below by presenting a list of research proposals submitted by analysts from within the Bank and from academic institutions, examining the whole array of issues in connection with the Economics of Crime and Violence (each topic summarizes a cluster of research proposals and corresponds to several individual papers):

Extractions: Communication offers a liberal arts major emphasizing the diversity of the field. Students who major in communication at UMD can graduate with an understanding of human interpersonal communication interactions, the functions of the media in today's society, the uses of persuasion and the nature of communication within organizations. Students will develop the skills needed for effective public speaking, analytic writing, and critical reasoning. Criminology is the study of crime and criminal behavior. The criminology program focuses on crime as a social phenonmenon and the causes of criminal behavior. The major provides an overview of institutions, issues and causes of crime, and social control; it also offers a strong foundation in liberal arts, a basic knowledge of behavioral sciences, and a strong professional growth potential for those pursuing a career in criminology or the criminal justice system. Many criminology majors enter law, law enforcement, corrections and other social service careers or graduate school. The criminology program is not training police officers, but rather is a liberal arts B.A. degree program offered through the College of Liberal Arts.

Juvenile Justice Bulletin -- November 2000 -- The Nurturing Parenting Programs,
Child abuse has clearly been shown to be one of the leading causes in the developmentof juvenile delinquency and criminal behavior in adults (Straus, 1991).
http://www.ncjrs.org/html/ojjdp/2000_11_1/page1.html

Extractions: The Need for Effective Intervention In 1979, the National Institute of Mental Health funded a 2-year national project to develop and research a family-centered parenting program to help curb the serious and growing problems of child abuse and neglect. The result was a group- and home-based intervention effort called the Nurturing Parenting Programs. The need to create such an intervention was based on the following facts: Reported cases of child abuse and neglect have been increasing steadily nationwide since the inception of mandatory reporting statutes in the late 1960's and early 1970's. In 1996, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimated that the number of child abuse and neglect reports nearly doubled between 1986 and 1993, rising 98 percent from 1.42 million to 2.81 million. In addition, the number of seriously injured children nearly quad-rupled, increasing from 141,700 in 1986 to 565,000 in 1993. An average of three children die of child abuse and neglect each day in the United States. The number of children who will die of these causes with-in the average lifespan of the typical American, 72.5 years, will approximate 80,000, the size of many small towns across the country (National Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and Neglect Information, 1998). Abused children exhibit high degrees of antisocial and delinquent behavior in adolescence and criminal behavior in adulthood (Bavolek, Kline, and McLaughlin, 1979). Child abuse has clearly been shown to be one of the leading causes in the development of juvenile delinquency and criminal behavior in adults (Straus, 1991).
Free Will
supernatural powers, or material causes as the questions about human responsibilityfor moral behavior. of responsibility for moral and criminal behavior.
http://skepdic.com/freewill.html

Extractions: SkepDic.com Free will is probably located in the pre-frontal cortex, and we may even be able to narrow it down to the ventromedial pre-frontal cortex. Stephen Pinker Free will is a concept in traditional philosophy used to refer to the belief that human behavior is not absolutely determined by external causes, but is the result of choices made by an act of will by the agent. Such choices are themselves not determined by external causes, but are determined by the motives and intentions of the agent, which themselves are not absolutely determined by external causes. Traditionally, those who deny the existence of free will look to fate, supernatural powers, or material causes as the determinants of human behavior. Free will advocates, or libertarians, as they are sometimes called, believe that while everything else in the universe may be the inevitable consequence of external forces, human behavior is unique and is determined by the agent, not by God or the stars or the laws of nature. The traditional concept of free will enters the mainstream of Western Philosophy in metaphysical questions about human responsibility for moral behavior. Many modern debates about free will are often couched in terms of responsibility for moral and criminal behavior. In the Christian tradition, which has framed the issues surrounding free will, the belief hinges on a metaphysical belief in non-physical reality. The will is seen as a faculty of the soul or mind, which is understood as standing outside of the physical world and its governing laws. Hence, for many, a belief in materialism is taken to imply a denial of free will.
