What do social development perspectives include in understanding criminality and why?

Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).


Answer: Social development perspectives show an appreciation for, and look at all aspects of, human development to understand criminality, including psychological, biological, familial, interpersonal, cultural, societal, and ecological factors. Theorists study these factors because they believe development begins at birth yet they recognize that not all problem children become criminal adults. Other aspects determine criminal behavior in all stages of maturation, and social development theories look for patterns to predict criminal behavior throughout a lifetime.
