A Study Of Comparison With Violent Attitude Between Passionate Criminals And The Recidivists

United Nations Crime Prevention and Control Committee on global crime survey shows that the average crime rate in countries in the world showed sustained growth trend, the crime rate in the crowd is 6.2‰, violent crime rate is 3.0‰. Since 2000, our country's annual rate has been growing as 18% to 20% rate ,1/3 of total is violent crime ,of which the crimes of passion accounted 1/3. To protect the social security and stability, crime prevention become a concern scholars pay close attention to again,its intend is to study the mechanism of violence and related factors to predict violence.The attitude to violence which is the one of the most important factors affects violent behavior, therefore, violent attitude gradually become a hot research work. However, to just research the explicit structure of the attitude is insufficiency in comprehense the violent behavior and prognosticate the crime effectly, it needs to explored the implicit structure of violence attitude for further. In 1998, the development and its applications of indirect measurements for the implicit attitude provides the possibility of measu- ring implicit violence attitude.On the basis of the violence explicit attitude of the study, we explore the implicit violence attitude to make a more comprehensive understanding of acts of violence and to provide a powerful basis for crime precaution.This study attempted to apply direct and indirect measurements for the comp- arison explicit violent attitude with implicit violent attitude between criminals of passion and recidivists, to explore the criminals of passion and recidivist's charac- teristic features and forecasting character about explicit and implicit attitude to violence for crime precaution. Two main contents are involved in this study: (1) to select the relative sensitive indirect methods through the Implicit Association Test (IAT) and attitudes activation paradigm(AAP) by different type of materials; (2)To use CSPQPC and implicit violence attitude methods measure explicit and implicit violent attit- ude of the passionate criminals and recidivists in prison, whose character would be compared to prevent crime.The main conclusions of this study are as follows:1. IAT could confirm whether a certain implicit attitude exists,as AAP measures the strength of this attitude. These two methods from different angles measure implicit attitudes,therefore,implicit violent attitude methods also choose from the two experimental paradigms.Different type of materials in IAT,It's found that words IAT and the word-picture IAT all have IAT effect that confirm that the implicit violent attitude exists ,but words IAT can interference the experimenters ,IAT effect is slightly weaker than the word-picture IAT effect, then choose word-picture IAT as a sensitive paradigm to measure the existence of implicit violence attitude;Different type materials and experimental parameters (SOA) as conditions in AAP,the words IAT have proved the existence of implicit violence attitude,but the strength of words AAP is not enough to automatic activate this attitude,it did not have a priming effect,but the picture AAP has a significant priming effect .Moreover,comparing with the SOA for 500 ms,300ms priming effect is a litter stronger,Integrated these two results,the optimal approach paradigm is picture-AAP with SOA for 300 ms to evaluate the strength of the implicit violence attitude.2. CSPQ^PC is measured in explicit attitude of passionate criminals and violent recidivists,while word-picture IAT and picture-AAP are measured their implicit attitude, It's discovered that a reverse IAT effect and priming effect emerge at the part of the passionate criminals and violent recidivists .According to whether has reversed, there are divided into four types: no-reversal passionate criminals, reversal passionate criminals, no-reversal recidivists and reversal recidivists .In combination the results of the VIO in CSPQPC and the interview, there are significance correlated between VIO and the normal in no-reversal passionate criminals, no-reversal recidivists and reversal recidivists; but no significance in reversal passionate criminals, in these four groups ,there are no relevance between the explicit and implicit violent attitudes. This shows that no matter who is passionate criminal or violent recidivism,although they would finally commit violence, but the attitude of the violence is not consistent, the impact of violence against a lot of factors, and the attitude is one of factors which is impact violent behavior, for different offenders and different types of crime, violence attitude on the extent of the impact of violence is different.Only attention of crime prevention in the education of offenders is not an effective means.
