Study Notes
- Psychodynamic theories of crime focus on the roles of the id, ego, and superego and are rooted in the subconscious.
- The id operates on the pleasure principle.
- The ego focuses on reality and operates on the reality principle.
- The superego operates on the morality principle.
Weak Superego

Deviant Superego
- A child internalizes immoral or delinquent values, leading to criminal behavior.
Over Harsh Superego
- Characterized by feeling of constant guilt and anxiety, and leads to the desire to commit crime to satisfy the superego's desire for punishment.
- In all three cases, emotional demands override morality.
Disturbed Superego
- Diagnosing them with is a Freudian manner.
- Suggests individuals had an over-harsh superego.
- The foundational concepts of these theories aren't supported, so parents do not tend to raise rebellious children who have over harsh superegos.
Gender bias
- Theory has strong gender bias, and Freud claims that women are more moral than men.
- However, this can be disproven, as it suggests an inverse relationship between the crimes women commit and the crimes men commit, which is inaccurate.
