Choice in a Criminal Lifestyle

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Modelling the Criminal Lifestyle

Part of the book series: Palgrave's Frontiers in Criminology Theory ((FCRT))

Abstract

addresses the decision-making model that lifestyle theory employs to make sense of criminal decision-making. This chapter therefore elucidates the hedonistic and moral belief systems that lie at the heart of the decision-making process. It then moves into an exegesis of how reactive and proactive criminal thinking shape the criminal decision-making process further. Situational and development factors also contribute to the criminal decision-making process and so assume a prominent position in this chapter as well. A case example is used to illustrate how the decision-making model of criminal lifestyle theory operates.
