Personality Disorders and Criminal Behavior Select one of the personality disorders discussed in Chapter 4 (i.e., Odd or Eccentric Personality Disorders, Dramatic Personality Disorders, Anxious or Fearful Personality Disorders, or Antisocial Personality Disorder) and locate two to three scholarly articles in the Ashford Library that discusses a link between that personality disorder and the development of criminal behavior. In your paper, discuss the diagnostic characteristics of the personality disorder, the etiology of the disorder (the causes of the disorder, when it first manifests, etc.), and how characteristics of the disorder have been linked to future criminal behavior. Discuss early warning signs, assessment methods, and treatments that can be used to manage the disorder. Is it possible to treat the disorder before criminal tendencies develop? The paper must be two to three pages in length and formatted according to APA style. You must use at least two to three scholarly resources from the Ashford University Library, other than the textbook, to support your claims. Cite your sources within the text of your paper and on the reference page. For information regarding APA, including samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, located within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar. Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.
CRJ 308 Week 2 DQ 1 A Genetic or Biological Link?
Considering that factors such as eye color, hair color, facial features, body figures, and personality characteristics are passed down from generation to generation, could criminal behavior or criminal tendencies also be passed down? Thus, is there a genetic or biological link to understanding criminal behavior? Explain how temperament (which is determined largely by genetic or biological influences) and environmental experiences can influence the development of problematic and aggressive behavior. Watch Jon Ronson: Strange Answers to the Psychopath Test and consider your own temperament as a child and explain how it fits with your personality today.
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7.
