Using The Behavior Approach explain why some individuals may or may not be predisposed to criminal behavior?

Answer

I'd suggest you take your face off the bong long enough to answer your own intro to psych questions. Your laziness on this issue is the reason you will never be successful in your life.

-Wow, someone had a bad day. Actually, the question is confounded. A "behavioral approach" would never consider predisposition in explaining a behavior that could be labeled as "criminal". A behaviorists would rather look to the individuals environment for cues that would explain criminal behavior. For example, the environment could be one that reinforces criminal behavior (i.e., a neighborhood with high levels of gang activity). A behaviorists would also consider ones learning history. That is, what stimuli or experiences has this person been exposed to? Considering predispositions will more likely be used in explanation by someone who is maybe an Evolutionary Psychologist or a biologist. While it was suggested that the answer may be found in an intro to psych book, I can assure you that it is not for intro to psych books are broad overviews. A definitive answer may not be found at all. Many different theories of psychology and human behavior constantly struggle which "school of thought" is correct in a multitude of behaviors under investigation.
