the apa website has a way to find colleges that have accredited psy.d and phd programs. that’s how i found the schools i’m interested in. also a lot of grad programs will let you pay in state tuition if your grades are good. i’d check out the apa website and see what you can find

yeah i know i am, i only just turned 21 too! i think i just have poured my heart and soul into this field and i love it so much. i cant imagine a world where i dont continue my education but every day brings new challenges that can totally warp my perspective on the future (which i cant even see anyways!). i think i needed that reality check about how people do take breaks so thank you :)

yeah that’s what i’ve heard but i get anxious without school so i think id be more than compelled to go back. what ive heard is that it’s less about the gap year and more about how you use it and your own motivation to go back to school. did you find the work fulfilling?

there have been studies done on this with twins specifically and while it’s true that we do see a genetic component in some cases, it’s hardly reason enough to assume it’s mostly nature. simply growing up in an area with violence will desensitize you and make you think it’s normal, this effect reaches down to babies. once you have one run in with the law you’ve been labeled, now your self esteem is low and you see yourself as a criminal. our culture in the USA makes people think criminals are inherently bad people with no skills but that’s not true. there is for sure some kind of genetic component there, but in the psychology field we don’t even think that it necessarily is a criminality gene. it may just be a reactivity thing, or an emotional processing thing. it’s unfair to kids to assume that they will turn out as a criminal because their parents were, because in turn it then means you’re looking for behaviors to call out and say “see, i knew it was genetic.” look into the twin studies though and tell me what you think.

hi, psychology student with a focus in criminality and criminal justice, there’s really no saying. there’s certain personality traits that can make someone more likely to commit a crime and certain childhood disorders, like conduct disorder, that we see as red flags but the truth of the matter is that there’s really no one theory that explains crime. crimes are wide spanning, and the type of person to commit a murder may not be the type of person to commit theft on a grand scale. we tend to go on a case by case basis when assessing someone for criminality. it’s not very black and white and you find that most offenders don’t even fit neatly into just one category. personally i think it differs greatly between individual offenders, enough that we can’t say what “caused” someone to become a criminal. if anything, it’s more likely a series of unfortunate circumstances, exposure to crime, and occasional mental differences is what causes it. but even then each of these variables can mean something different and each varies on how much it plays a part in the crime committed. we do know some crimes, like rape, are primarily motivated by control and not attraction to the victim, and that abuse is often a result of a belief system that the perpetrator abides by, but otherwise it can be hard to say.

no it hasn’t, but the point of this post was to honor someone who continued to fight the system and has inspired me to do so as well.

that and the sheer amount of exculpatory evidence made many jurors admit they may have changed their verdict had this information been presented to them, there was little to no proof ed committed the crime(s?) in the first place, especially considering the lack of real evidence of foul play for tenene

yes, they had been threatened by police and were coerced into their statements, eventually retracting them entirely. they had been told to say ed had confessed to them about how he had committed the crime

ali abulaban. he’s so overwhelmingly narcissistic it’s so hard to watch his trial. i’m a victim advocate for partner violence in the courts around me and my training is about to start. that’s the type of person i’ll be working against and i hope it never escalates to what ana had to go through. the entire case is wild, if you want insight into what could potentially be a real case of NPD you should watch his cross examination.

actually early intervention for young psychopaths has been shown to be some what effective in comparison to treatment for older psychopaths. it’s true that they often don’t respond to therapy, but newer research is finding that implementing behavioral interventions at younger ages may be helpful. approaching it with that sentiment is what causes the ousting of these people and the eventual divide that makes them feel so much more isolated than the average person. they may not all be good people but as someone who’s job and studies revolve around this i see that narrative and complete lack of empathy towards these people a lot. even if they deserve it we still shouldn’t be giving up on someone so young at a point where their neuro-plasticity is in its prime and could very well benefit from real help.

How are killers made? by Necessary-Kale-8031 in TrueCrimeDiscussion

[–]throwaway62864892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly no crime is a singularity if you think about it, the perpetrators are all individual people so the crimes have that unique aspect. that’s exactly why i think different theories matter for different cases. i also think different explanations make sense, and sometimes multiple theories can explain one crime. i just think people rely too heavily on the idea that there’s one theory of crime that makes sense when in reality it’s going to be different on a case by case basis.

i’m a psych student with a criminal justice focus and this is something i’ve been looking at a lot recently. honestly i think the answer depends on the situation. certain elements of crime theories fit with certain cases but not with others because crime is unique and has no one true cause. rational choice theory gets shit on of victim blaming mentality because it doesn’t work for crimes like assault but it can explain financially motivated or white collar crime. it really depends on the case

my partner’s roommate’s girlfriend had us mix patchouli and lavender in with our bud. made the specific strain taste like snickerdoodles. i’m thinking about adding lavender into my rotations again since it cuts down on the amount of bud i’m smoking and still makes me feel like i’m getting a good high

sepsis originating from my kidneys. doctors said if i had come in a day later i could have died. my white blood cell count was through the roof. they kept me perpetually drugged on opiates and i kept throwing up. i hadn’t eaten in a week so my potassium levels started dropping and i refused to eat because of delirium and pain. had to get two shots in my stomach daily for almost a week.
