Biological Abnormalities




The inmate is 18 teen years old so he can call shots in regards to his treatment. Genetic

factors play a major role n an individual’s behavior. If we focus on sociocultural perspective,

his mental situation may become complicated. We can assume his behavior is an antecedent

of his society or culture. He may believe if he acts a certain way he will be treated differently,

and go to a mental ward.

In regards to the behavioral perspective, it would be hard to decipher his unwanted

behavior. Abnormal behavior is a very difficult aspect to uncover. Correlation isn’t always

causation. His behavior may be an antecedent of his environmental stimuli. This could also

reinforce his negative or positive behavior.

In closing, the inmate has a need that hasn’t been meeting. From my experience juveniles

look for help the best way they can. He being in the psyche ward is the best action for his

health. He will be diagnosed and

Treated. He isn’t in jail he is in the psychiatric woard. That is appropriate for his

abnormal behavior.
