Causes of Criminal Behavior

Abstract

The study of human behavior, a longstanding concern, has sparked debates and criticism among scholars throughout history. This interest has led to the involvement of legal and penal institutions. Science has approached human development and the origins of behavior from various perspectives, with normative science regulating behavior according to legal norms and causal-explanatory science investigating its origins within society. Applied sciences, on the other hand, utilize scientific methods to provide practical solutions. Criminology, although focused on the study of crime, addresses a wide range of behaviors within society. Efforts to understand and address the causes of criminal behavior are essential for developing effective strategies for prevention and social rehabilitation.
