Learning about the biosocial and psychological theories of crime was influential. However, I would ask: How can the traits of biological and psychological crime theories inform criminal justice system decisions about non-violent people who have committed crime for the first time but have been outstanding citizens in the past? Secondly, the next critical question would be on the evolutionary psychology perspective on crime. How can parents living in crime-prone zones establish better environments that reduce children’s prevalence in joining gangs or engaging in crime as depicted by the evolutionary psychology perspective on crime? The final critical question relates to developmental and life-course theories: adolescence-limited and life-course-persistent offenders; career criminals.
