Abstract

This paper provides a general view of factors contributing to violent crimes and possible detection and prevention measures. Based on the published papers, the significant number of crimes and extraordinarily negative social impacts worldwide make the potential reasons worthwhile and necessary to explore. In this paper, four main aspects—— biological factors (genes, etc.), personality disorders, parenting styles (permissive parenting styles, etc.), and social or environmental influences (income level, etc.)— — are summarized and discussed respectively. Although factors are discussed separately, a combination of several variants should usually be counted when analyzing aggressive behavior. Based on the known factors, specific early detection methods, such as family crime history or detecting dysfunction of specific brain structure, and preventive measures, such as counseling, are suggested and able to implement in the future to lower the rate of crimes and minimize costs of crimes, whether for the victims or the society.
