Criminal Psyche S2 Ep.035

from That’s Effin Weird Hosted by podinfo2022

In this thought-provoking episode of That's Effin Weird, host Stevenson explores one of the most fascinating and controversial questions in psychology and criminology: can early childhood experiences influence whether someone becomes a criminal later in life? From brain development during infancy to the impact of neglect, abuse, trauma, and unstable home environments, we examine how the earliest years of life may leave lasting marks on behavior and decision-making. Stevenson dives into real-world research surrounding childhood development, impulse control, empathy, emotional regulation, and the science behind how the young brain forms. The episode also explores warning signs that experts have identified and why some children who experience severe adversity go on to lead productive lives while others take a darker path. Is criminal behavior the result of biology, environment, personal choice, or a combination of all three? Join us for a fascinating discussion that looks at the intersection of psychology, crime, and human development in a way only That's Effin Weird can.
