While the treatment of criminal offenders is often considered a solution to behavioral misconduct, it is not a straightforward solution or process. Many criminals re-offend even after treatment, further increasing the difficulty in reducing criminal activity. In order to increase the effectiveness of treatment, it is helpful to understand the psychological factors associated with criminal behavior. For instance, offenders with impulsivity may benefit from different treatments than offenders with explosive tempers. Offenders with psychopathy may be relatively resistant to any type of treatment. For this Assignment, consider psychological factors and criminal behavior. Then consider how these factors might influence the treatment of offenders. The Assignment (2–3 pages) Describe three psychological factors associated with criminal behavior. Explain how these factors might influence the treatment of offenders. Explain how the knowledge of psychological factors might contribute to the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the treatment of offenders.
