HUMAN BEHAVIOR AND VICTIMOLOGY Prepared by: Randy Jala Lungay, RCrim PSYCHOLOGY Is an academic and applied discipline involving the phenomenological and scientific study of mental processes and behavior. It is the study of mind and behavior. What is Human Development? Human development is the process of a person's growth and maturation throughout their lifespan, concerned with the creation of while leading productive and creative lives in accordance with their interests and needs. Development is about the expansion of choices people have in order to lead lives they value. PSYCHOANALYTICAL THEORY OF HUMAN PERSONALITY Id (Principle of Pleasure) - Unconscious- It contains all the urges and impulses including libido because the satisfaction of it gives enjoyment to the person. Ego (Principle of Reality) - Conscious Reality - It tries to mediate the demands of the Id and prohibition of the superego. Superego - It is the conscience of man which is the unconscious part of our personality. - It may be represented by the voice of God, commandment of the community or self-goodwill and sense of right and wrong. Freud Psychosexual Stages of Development 1. Oral stage/Infancy – This stage covers the period from birth up to the end of 2nd year of life. The mouth is the main source of gratification of the child. The child is learning to deal w/ anxiety by the gratification of oral needs such as sucking, chewing, biting and spitting is normal activities of child. 2. Anal Stage/Toddler – This extends from the end of the 2nd year to the 3rd year. The anus, through controlling and expelling feces, is the major source of gratification for the child. 3. Phallic Stage/Preschool – This covers approximately the end of the 3rd to the 6th year of life. The child finds pleasure by fondling his or her genitals. The child establishes sexual identity/genital stimulation. This stage is called the Fixated Behavior. - Electra Complex – female child develops intimacy with her father and views the mother as the rival. - Oedipus Complex – a male child develops intimacy to his mother and views the father as his rival. 4. Latency/School-age –Starts from the 6th year to age 12. During this period, the child shifts from deriving gratification from his of her body parts to environmental activities like playing and learning. The child gains pleasure by being with his or company. 5. Genital Stage/Adolescence – This starts from puberty and beyond. The individual realizes that other people are not just mere sources of gratification but people to be loved. BEHAVIOR Defined as an organism’s responses to stimulation or environment. The manner of conducting oneself The way in which someone behaves Defined as anything that you do that can be directly observed, measured, and repeated.

Two Basic Types of Behavior INHERITED - Refers to any behavioral response or reflex exhibited by people due to their genetic endowment or the process of natural selection. Known as innate behavior. LEARNED - Involves cognitive adaptation that enhances the human being’s ability to cope with changes in the environment and to manipulate the environment in ways, which improve the chances for survival. Also called as operant behavior. KINDS OF BEHAVIOR 1. CONSCIOUS OR UNCONSCIOUS  When the person is aware of his actions, classified as Conscious Behavior.  Acts that are embedded in one’s sub consciousness, it is Unconscious or Unaware 2.

SIMPLE OR COMPLEX Simple Behavior, less neurons involved in a certain act. Complex Behavior, more number of neurons involved. Common Perspectives in the Study of Human Behavior 1. Neurological View - This perspective emphasizes human actions in relation to events that take place inside the body, especially the brain and the nervous system. 2. Behavioral View - This view focuses on the external activities that can be observed and measured. 3.

Routine Activity Theory - it claims that crime is a normal function of the routine activities of modern living. The greater the opportunity for criminals and victims to interact, the greater the probability of crime; the reduced the interaction, the more opportunity for crime to decline. It argues that when a crime occurs, there are three things happen at the same time; - Suitable target is available - There is lack of a suitable guardian to prevent the crime from happening - There is motivated offender THE LIFESTYLE THEORY - purports that individuals are targeted based on their lifestyle choices, and that these lifestyle choices expose them to criminal offenders and situation in which crimes may be committed. - the main issue is that the crime victim often become victims because of their own choices as to where to live, how to socialize and other lifestyle – related variables. DEVIANT PLACE THEORY - states that greater exposure to dangerous places makes an individual more likely to become the victim of a crime. - in order to lower the chance that one will become the victim of a crime, the individual should avoid the “bad” areas of town where crime rates are high.
