Most of the influence of personality-based explanations for criminal offending in the last three decades has been provided by the construct of psychopathy. Historically, however, there have been a number of theories of personality that have been offered to help understand offending. In some respects, these theories describe overlapping constructs. Describe these theories and explain how their overlapping construct are important in understanding antisocial behavior.

Answers may vary.These theories include Eysenck's PEN theory (psychoticism, extroversion, and neuroticism); Costa and McCrae's five-factor model (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to Experience, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness); and Cloninger's seven-factor temperament and character model (Novelty Seeking, Harm Avoidance, Reward Dependence, Persistence, Self-directedness, Cooperativeness, and Self-transcendence. In some respects, these theories describe overlapping constructs.Those who were low on Agreeableness or low on Conscientiousness were more likely to be involved in antisocial behavior. The other dimensions were less important-so it seems best to conclude that general personality theory has identified two domains (agreeableness and conscientiousness) that are important to understanding criminal offending. More recent research on these dimensions considered how agreeableness and conscientiousness interacted with opportunity to commit crime in affecting adolescent offending (N = 2,200), with opportunity less likely to lead to offending when individuals were agreeable and conscientious.

Describe the rise in homicide in schools and colleges in the United States, highlighting some of the incidents that came to national attention.

Answers may vary.In 2002, juveniles were involved in approximately 8% of all homicides, a percentage that did not change in 2010. Although the number of murders involving juveniles sharply decreased between 1994 and 2000, it remained stable (with some fluctuations) between 2001 and 2010, and continued to decrease between 2011 and 2014 (OJJDP, 2015).Nonetheless, public perception, fueled by the high visibility and rapid dissemination facilitated by social media, remains affected by high-profile fatal events in schools:■ In April 1999, two students at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, shot 12 of their classmates and a teacher before killing themselves.■ In February 2009, an eighth grader named Lawrence King was shot in the head in his classroom in Oxnard, California, while classmates looked on horrified. Police allege that the shooter, 14-year-old Brandon McInerney, and some other boys had previously taunted King because he was a gay. At the time of his death, King was living in a shelter for abused and troubled children.■ In October 2015, a 15-year-old high school freshman at Marysville Pilchuck High in Marysville, Washington shot five students in the school cafeteria before committing suicide.
