WJEC CRIMINOLOGY UNIT 2 STUDY ACTUAL EXAM Lombroso's Theory - CORRECT ANSWER-Criminals are born criminal with Atavistic Features which define if they are criminal or not. Criminals are a primative species which are not fully developed. Strengths of Lombroso's theory - CORRECT ANSWER-Charles Goring (1913) found that criminals have low intelligence rates meaning that it is linked to genetics. Ceasare Lombroso is the father of modern criminology meaning that he has started criminology which helped made other people want to study it. A study done by Bath Spa University found that jourers would pick someone who looked 'uglier' to be the criminal. Weaknesses of Lombroso's theory - CORRECT ANSWER-He did not use a control group. Goring used a control group and found no correlation between atavistic features and criminal behaviour. DeLesi (2012) stated that the atavistic form theory is scientific racism as the typical atavistic features are from an African background. What is Sheldon's Theory of Somatotypes? - CORRECT ANSWER-There are three different body types: Mesomorph: Muscular and Hard- Most likely to be criminal. Endomorph: Fat and Soft Ectomorph: Skinny and Weak- Least likely to be criminal. Strengths of Somatotype Theory. - CORRECT ANSWER-Putwain and Sammonds confirmed that Sheldon's theory is true. Gleuek and Gleuek (1956) found that 60% of delinquents were mesomorph whereas in non delinquents 31% were mesomorphs meaning it backed up Sheldon's theory of Somatotypes. Weaknesses of Somatotype Theory - CORRECT ANSWER-Not everyone who is Mesomorph is criminal. Endomorphs and Ectomorphs are criminals too. People's body shapes change over time
