Biosocial
Theory
Summarize the theory of
victimization, describing its
meaning and core concepts as it
relates to the nature of crime.
According to this theory, crime is a
matter of personal choice and the
criminal makes a rational decision to
commit the crime.
This view is that If a person is
motivated, considers the choices, and
they believe crime will benefit them
without risk. (Siegel & Worrall, 2013,
p. 45)
This view is that for the criminal, the
profit outweighs the punishment.
Identify subcategories of the
theory and describe each.
One sub-category is the “Deterrence
Theory” which aligns itself by
indicating crime would not be a
“rational choice” therefore not chosen
if there was a strong enough fear of
punishment, acting to deter the
criminal activity. (Akers, 1990, p.2)
Apply the theory to one (1) real life
example or scenario. Briefly explain
why the theory applies to the example
you identified.
One real life case was that of Ariel Castro.
This is the nationally televised case of a
man who kidnapped and held three (3)
women captive in his Cleveland, Ohio
home for over 10 years, during which he
physically and sexually assaulted, fathered
a child and kept these young women
captive until one managed to escape
2013. Castro pleaded guilty to 937 counts
including murder, rape, and abduction, to
avoid Ohio’s death penalty. He was
sentenced to life in prison without parole +
1,000 years by Judge Russo, Cuyahoga
County, Cleveland where the crimes were
committed. After being in prison only 30
days in Franklin County, Castro hung
himself in his prison cell, ending his own
life. I believe it relates to rational choice
theory, Castro made a calculated choice to
kidnap the missing teens and commit
these crimes for over a decade, while
working and interacting in the community.
His motivation for the benefit of committing
these crimes over a decade was stronger
than fear of getting punished.
