Using Evolutionary psychology to analyze criminal behavior between male and female

Abstract

This article proposes an evolutionary psychological explanation of male and female criminal behavior. The paper hypothesizes that the psychological mechanisms underlying male and female criminal behavior are context-sensitive solutions to specific social adaptive problems. The study used a hybrid approach, combining insights from quantitative survey data and literature analysis. The study includes two researcher designs, one focuses on testing gender theories and the other aims to testify the hypothesis revolving bullying. Both samples include 200 participants who provided detailed data on predictions of male and female tendency to commit crime after being bullied. Through descriptive statistics and correlation analysis, it is found that there is a certain degree of association between being bullied and violent crime or non-violent crime. The article outlines how men and women respond to these bullying issues and explores why, in certain situations, men are more likely than women to be violent in predicted crimes.
