A person's personality speaks a lot
about that person. By analysing somebody's personality, we can
justify the criminal behavior in that person. Psychologists have
devised a number of theories that relate personality with
criminality.
- Personality theorists endeavor to
put together the puzzle of the human personality.
- Temperament is the term used for
the childhood counterpart to personality. Facets of personality
combined together into a broad dimension of personality.
- Personality traits are persisting
underlying tendencies to act in certain ways in particular
situations. Traits shape the emotional and experiential spheres of
life, defining how people perceive their world and predict physical
and psychological outcomes.
- Personality and crime have been
linked in two general ways. First, in “personality-trait
psychology” certain traits within a structured model of personality
may be linked to antisocial behavior (ASB).
