(ie school/work/transport etc) Laws Formal rules of a country/society, enacted by officials Deviance Behaviour that is not the same as the society’s norms and values. Crime Breaking the laws that have been set by society. Delinquency Behaviour of young people that society does not like, may or may not involve breaking the law. Sanctions Punishment for breaking laws, both formal (prison etc) and informal (‘tut’)

 Lombroso Physical appearance  Genetic theories Genes define our behaviour

 Eysenck (1947) The Introvert and the Extrovert. Introverts are shy and quiet while Extroverts are confident and out going.

 What does ‘Biological explanation of crime’ mean?  What does ‘Psychological explanation of crime’ mean?  Kleptomania is the name given to an uncontrollable urge to steal.
