CHAPTER III: CRIMINAL ETIOLOGY

F. Criminal Etiology
Aims and learning outcomes
That students can:

4. Define criminal etiology


5. Identify and discuss approaches in criminal etiology
6. Explain crime in the Philippines

Criminal Etiology is the second division of criminology which attempts to provide


scientific analysis on the causes of crimes. Causes of crimes refer to the factor or circumstances
that apply significantly more to offenders than to non-offend and that potentially a direct but not
necessarily immediate link to crime. A regards any attempt to scientific studies of the cause of
crimes. Tow thing or objects to be considered these are man and his criminal behavior in relation
to criminal or penal law.

In the approaches in criminal etiology, these were three, 1.) Single or unitary approach
- This approach views that criminal behavior is caused only by one factor or variable which is
any of the following: social, biological or mental 2.) Multiple theory approach – This approach
view that criminal conduct is not a product of a single cause of factor but a combination of
several factors. 3.) Eclectic theory approach – this approach views that criminal behavior at one
instance may be caused by one or more factors, while in other instances, it is caused by another
set of factors. Moreover, crime in the Philippines was prevalent many criminologist have
accepted that criminality tendencies and behavior could be influenced by social conditions. This
contributing factors seems to account largely for the crime rate in the Philippines. These factors
namely: Economic, cultural influences, environment, social conditions and individual person
temperament. Geographically speaking the Philippines is the tropic zone and theoretically the
Filipinos are hot blooded people with very volatile temperament. The criminal behavior of the
people is greatly affected by poor economic and social conditions. This considering crime is a
social Phenomenon.

G. Crime Theories
Aims and learning outcomes
That students can:

1. Define crime theories


2. Discuss biochemistry or biological theories and studies
3. Identify and discuss criminal anthropology theories

Theory is an idea that is suggested as presented as possibly true, but that is not known or
proven to be true. The function of this theory is to provide puzzles for research. For this purpose,
the crime related theories are grouped as follows: Biochemistry or Biological Psychoanalytic and
Psychiatry lastly Sociological.

Biochemistry or Biological theory and studies include by many names such as:
Biological, Constitutional, genetic, and anthropological Criminology. The oldest field in criminal
anthropology, founded by the father of modern criminology in 1876. He was one of the first
exponents of the positive approach to crime. Then, biological theories resort that criminal
behavior is the result of some flaw in the biological make-up of the individual. The physical flaw
could be due to the following namely: heredity neurotransmitter dysfunction and brain
abnormalities. This man a living organism has been the object of several studies which has the
purpose of determining the cause of his crimes. Anthropological criminology, literally a
combination of the study of the human species and the personality and physical appearance of
the offender.

Criminal Anthropology theories are as follows:

1. Born Criminal or Atavism – according to Lambroso, criminal are born with some
physical characteristic which becomes the cause of crimes.

2. Physiognomy – it is the theory based upon the idea that the assessment of the person’s
outer appearances, primarily the face, may give insights into one’s personality or
character. This theory was proposed by Physiognomies Johanan Kasper Lavater (1741-
1801). Moreover, according to Lavater these were two types of Physiognomy a.) absolute
predictive Physiognomy – a disproven concept which poses that there are invariable
100% correlation between physical features and character traits. b.) Scientific correlation
physiognomy – in which there are belief to be rough statistical correlation between
physical features and character traits due to a person’s physical preference.

3. Phrenology – it is originated from Greek “mind and logos “Knowledge”. A theory which
claims to be able to determine character, personality traits and criminality on the basis of
the shape of the head. This theory, was developed by German physician Franz Joseph
Gall around 1800, the discipline was very popular in the 19 th century. Another theorist,
Francis Magendie referred phrenology as “a pseudo-science”

4. Physique theory – this proposed by Ernst Kretschmer it consist into four categories.

a. Pyknic type – those who are sort and with round bodies. They tend to commit
deception fraud and violence.
b. Athletic type – those who are muscular and strong. They are usually connected
with violence.
c. Asthenic type – those who are skinny and tender. They may commit petty theft
and fraud.
d. Dysplastic or Mixed type – those are less clear evident having predominant type
their offenses are gains decency and morality.

31
5. SOMATOTYPE theory – This theory was proposed by American Psychologist William
Sheldon – according to Sheldon, this theory associating body types with human
temperament. This body types categorize into three namely:

a. Ectomorphic – a body type is characterized by long arms and legs and a short
upper body and narrow shoulders.
b. Mosomorphic – a body type is characterized by a high rate of muscle growth and
a higher proportion of muscular tissue.
c. Endomorphic – a body type is characterized by an increase amount fat storages
due to having a larger number of fat cells than the average person.

In heredity studies, it explain in a legal parlance (it is in the blood, like father, like son)
these are three studies related to heredity. These are the study of Kallikak family tree, study of
Juke Family and Sir Jonathan Edward Family tree.

a. Study of Kallikak Family Tree – this study was conducted by Henry H. Goddard, a
prominent American Psychologist known on his work “The Kallikak Family: A
study in heredity of Feeble-Mindedness the word Kallikak combining the Greek root
meaning Kallos (Beauty) and Kakos (Bad). This study linked medical and moral
deviance and fused the new Mendelian laws in the old biblical injunction that “the
sins of the father shall be visited on the son”

b. Study of Juke family Tree – this is more concerned about bad heredity. This view
was expanded in the Juke: A study in crime, Pauperism, disease. And heredity by
(Richard Dugdale, 1875) a study of a rural clan that” over generations produced 1,200
beggars, murderers, prostitutes, thieves and syphilitics. The Jukes family produced
700 criminal, prostitutes and paupers descended from “Margaret Ada Jukes,” the
mother of all criminals.

c. Study of Sir Jonathan Edwards Family Tree – Sir Jonathan Edwards was a
famous preacher during the colonial period. His family trace and none of his
descendants was found to be criminal. Many of his descendants became President of
the United States, governor and member of the supreme court.

Psychiatry refers to the study of human mind. It is the branch of medicine which exists to
study. Prevent treat mental disorders in humans. Moreover, mental deficiency is a condition of
arrested or incomplete development of the mind existing before the age of 18, whether arising

f) Psychopathic personality – this is the most common cause of criminality among
youthful offenders and habitual criminals.

Many contributors in the field of Psychiatry are existing to name they are:

a. August Aichorn – in his book entitled wayward youth (1925) said that the cause of
crime and delinquency is the faulty development of the child during the first few

1. Discuss sociological theories and studies


2. Determine other sociological cases of crime
3. Identify geography and crime

Sociological cases refers to things, place and people with whom man comes in contact
and which play a part in determining actions and conduct. The cases may bring about the
development of criminal behavior and author Sutherland briefly explains the process by which a
particular person comes to engage in criminal behavior.

Aside from his contribution sociological study, he is very popular with his title father of
American and Dean of Modern Criminology. He is the sociologist of the symbolic interactionism
school of thought. His brilliant idea leading the development of principles of differential
association in the third edition and renamed the book into the principles of criminology.

38
1. Differential Identification Theory. This theory was conceptualized by Daniel
Claser and suggested that a pursues criminal behavior to the extent the he/ she
identifies himself with real or imaginary person from whose perspective his/ her
criminal behavior seems acceptable.
Ex: A person committed theft through identifying his/ herself to his/ her thieve idol.

2. Imitation-Suggestion Theory. This theory was suggested by Gabriel Tarde, he


asserted that delinquency and crime are learned and adopted.

3. Social Disorganization Theory. Is resulting social change, conflict of values


between the new and old.

4. Containment Theory. Was formed by Reckless according to him, criminality is


brought by the inability of the group to contain its behavior.

5. Symbolic Interactionism. Was drawn from the phenomenology of Edmund Husserl


and George Herbert Mead. This perspective relies on the symbolic meaning that
people develop an rely upon in the process of social interaction.

6. Containment Theory. Accordingly, criminality is brought about by the inability of


the group to contain behavior and that effective containment of the individual into the
value of system and structure of society will minimize the crime.

7. Anomie Theory. The word comes Greek, namely the a “without, and nomos law. If
refers to anything or anyone against or outside the law, or a condition where the
correct laws were not applied resulting in a state of illegitimacy or lawlessness.

8. Strain Theory. In criminology, the strain theories state that social structures within
the society may encourage citizen to commit crime.

9. Routine Activity Theory. Was develop by Marcus Felson and Laurence Cohen,
drew upon the control theories and explained crime in terms of crime opportunities
that occur everyday life.

10. Labeling Theory. Labeling theory proposed that deviance is socially constructed
through reaction instead of action.

11. Control Theory. Developed by Travis Hirsdin, Hirchis control theory is significant
to crime prevention, this approach is called as social bond or social control theory.

Moreover, the other sociological causes of crime are lack of parental guidance, broken
homes, injuring status of the neighborhood, lack of recreational facilities for proper use of leisure
time and lack of employment that leads to poverty. Then, Geography and Crime are the
following are some of the explanations formulated by criminalist about geography and crime.

1. North and South Pole- According to Quetelet, crimes against person are more
common in hotter climates and seasons, whereas crimes against property are more
common in cooler climates and seasons.

2. Approach to the Equator- According Montesquieu, criminality increase in


proportion as one approaches the equator and drunkenness increase as one approach
the North and South Pole.

3. Season of the year - Crimes against a person is more in summer than in the rainy
season.

39
4. Soil Formation-More crimes of violence are recorded in fertile level lands than in
hilly rugged terrain.

5. Month of the year- These are more incidence of violent crimes during the warms
months from April up to July having its peak in May.

6. Temperature-The number of arrest increase quite regular with the increase of


temperature because it affects the emotional state of the individual and leads to
fighting.

7. Humidity and Atmosphere Pressure- It was explained that low and high humidity
is both vital and emotionally depressing to the individual.

8. Wind Velocity- During the high wind, the number of arrests is less.

Penology is also referred to as penal science; it is the third division of criminology that
focused on the philosophy and practice of society in its efforts to repress criminal activities. The
word penology was derived from the latin word poena, which means pain or suffering. The term
penology was changed to correction due to its harsh connotation. Thus, penal management was
also changed with correctional administration mean the manner or practice of managing or
controlling place of confinement as in jails, prisons, including custody, treatment and
rehabilitation of criminal offenders. The term correction is a 20 th century social engineering term
for the ability to be technically proficient at the processing of incarcerated offenders.

In addition, the earliest societies, punishment had always been a collective responsibility.
Everyone in the social group was required to take part in atleast public condemnation of the
offender because the intent was to prevent whatever caused the crime to happen from spreading
throughout the social group. Punishment then became a formal responsibility to be carried out by
the professional specialist in the employ of governments.

Moreover, models of penology were also added, the model of penology will identified
and discuss in this form:

1. Retribution Model – many of the early professional specialist were experts at execution
further and mutilation. Infact, the code of Hammerabi did not specify much of the role of
judges, but did specify as substantial role for those whose job waste chip offhands or
impale somebody on a state. Under the code of Hammerabi, an attempt was made to
enact “Sympathetic” punishment or justice in the form of “Life for life”. Eye for eye,
tooth for tooth, hand for hand, stripe for stripe. A similar Philosophy is expressed in
the bible (Exodus 21:23-25) the punishment of this type follows the principle of lex
talinis (law and retaliation), and it is based notion of talion (equivalence between crime
and its punishment). Philosophy of retaliation are as follows:

a. Proportionality – the notion of proportionality is the idea that we can rank the
seriousness of the crime as well a standard progression in the penalties to
administer.
b. Just Deserts – that punishment is deserved by the wrongdoer simply because
he/she committed a transgression. In other words, these should be no other proper
for punishment other than it is deserved.
c. Equity – If we take consistency to the extreme and see to it that all offenders who
commit the same crime with the same degree of capability get exactly the same
punishment.
d. Reciprocity – if we look at the punishment as a natural part of the social order
and fed satisfied that the offender has been appropriately punished.
e. Retributive – if the offender happens to agree to the appropriateness of the
punishment or atleast accepts some blame or shows remorse or the upholding of
human dignity through the mutual acceptance of a fair and just punishment.

2. Justice Model – It was first introduced in 1979 by David Fogel in his book, we are the
living Proof: The justice model for corrections. This model also contains some strong
views on penology, and has been described as less concerned with the administration of
justice than with the justice of administration.

43
3. Utilitarianism Model – the Philosophy of utilitarianism developed at a time in history
when intellectual with the idea of social contract. The root word of utilitarianism is
“Utility” which means “useful”. Deterrence comes, not from trying to be harsh not from
punishment that is appropriate (Severity), prompt (Celerity) and inevitable (certainty).
Ako, kinds of deterrence are added namely.

a. Specific deterrence (Individual deterrence). It often takes the form of older


principle called incapacitation. The idea is to make it impossible for an individual
to commit another crime, while they are prison. In fact, Benthan proposed a type
of prison system known as the panopticon prison design (means all-seeing eye).
b. General Deterrence (Societal deterrence). The principle here is that others
potential criminal will want to avoid criminal behavior because of the example
provided by punishment.

4. Redemptive and Restorative Justice Model – is the broad field and current redemptive
philosophy in criminal justice tends to be about faith-based initiative and or religion
based correctional interventions.

At the beginning of the 19th century, there was a growing disinclination in England of
imposing any public punishment such as whipping and the gallows. This led to growing use of
confinement as punishment. In 1808, Samuel Romily led the campaign to restructure the
criminal law system by radically decreasing the use of death penalty. However, capital
punishment was not only primary penalty that could be meted out. After the transportation act
1718, transportation was made as primary penalty rather than a means of escaping the death
penalty. Transportation was also used in many case to keep the numbers of confined prisoners
down to rid England of the problem of crime.

As prison, penal penitentiary or correctional facility is a place in which individuals are


physically confined or interned and usually deprived of a range of personal freedoms. Prisons are
the institution which form part of the criminal justice system of the country, such that
commission of a crime. In popular parlance of many countries, the terms jail or gaol are
