I am Weicheng Chaoyu, express my attitude towards life in words .
No one is born a criminal.
Through Individual Psychology , we can understand various types of people, but the differences between humans are actually not so obvious.
We found that the failures shown by criminals and problematic children, neuropaths, mental patients, suicides, cool alcoholists, sexual perversions, etc. are actually the same.
They are all failures that they encounter when dealing with life problems, especially on a noticeable fixed problem, they will be completely trapped in failure. Each of them lacks social interest and is indifferent to their compatriots.
However, even so, there is no reason to think they are very different from others and to distinguish them. No one is a perfect collaborator or has a comprehensive social feeling. The failure of a criminal is just a common failure of a deeper degree. Another thing is also important to help us understand criminals, which is the expectation of overcoming difficulties.
At this point, criminals are no different from others. We all hope to overcome difficulties, we all strive to achieve a goal in the future. If the goal is achieved, we will feel strong, superior and perfect. Professor Dewey calls this tendency a pursuit of security, which is very correct. Some people call it the pursuit of self-preservation.
However, no matter how people call it, we can always find this line of activity in humans - struggling to rise from lowly position to superior position, from failure to victory, from bottom to top. This line of activity has begun from the earliest childhood and continues until the end of life.
So we don't have to be surprised when we find the same tendency in criminals. In the various behavioral activities and attitudes of criminals, we can see that criminals are also trying to become excellent people, committed to solving problems and overcoming difficulties. The difference between a criminal and an ordinary person is not that he does not pursue hard work, but that he pursues the direction.
When we find that the criminal takes the wrong direction because he does not understand the requirements of social life and does not care about his compatriots, we will understand that his behavior is unwise. This point of
must be emphasized, because many people do not think so. They think criminals are abnormal and completely different from ordinary people. For example, some scientists assert that all criminals are mentally impaired. Some people also attach great importance to the issue of inheritance. They believe that criminals are born and are destined to commit crimes.
In addition, there are people who argue that sin is caused by the environment and cannot be changed. Once a person commits a crime, he will continue to commit it! There is now a lot of evidence to refute these opinions, and we must also realize that if we accept these views, the hope of solving the problem of crime will be gone! In our lifetime, we must eliminate this human tragedy.
Looking at the entire human history, crime has always been a tragedy. Now we must stand up and take action. We must never ignore crime and say helplessly: "These are all genetic tricks, and we have no way of doing it at all! There is no compulsive force in both environment and genetics.
Children from the same family, the same environment may develop in completely different directions. Sometimes, criminals may come from innocent families. Sometimes, in criminal families where people go to prisons or conduct, we will also find children with good personalities and conduct. Moreover, some criminals will later change their past mistakes.
Many criminal psychologists cannot explain why some robbers will put down their butcher knife and become human again when they are nearly 30 years old. If we determine in advance that crime is a congenital defect or is caused by the environment, then these examples cannot be established.
However, from the point of view given, these facts are not difficult to understand.Perhaps the criminals have changed their past because their personal situation has become more superior, the environment has reduced their requirements for them, and there is no need for mistakes in their lifestyle to occur again.
or, maybe because he has got what he wants. Finally, it may also be because the person may be old and unable to continue to commit crimes.
Before going further discussion, Adler believes that we must first clarify the so-called "criminals are madmen". Although many mentally ill people also commit crimes, the crimes they commit are completely different. Adler did not think they should be responsible for the sins they committed, because the sins they committed were completely unaware of themselves and treated their results in the wrong way.
Similarly, Adler believes that he should also forgive criminals with low minds. They are actually just a tool for crime. The real criminals are those who are mastermind behind the scenes. These people paint a beautiful vision that arouses the fantasy or ambitions of the impaired minds, and then these real criminals hide themselves and let the impaired minds risk being punished as victims to carry out the crime plan.
Of course, this is also the case when experienced criminals instigate young people to commit crimes. Experienced criminals will think of a crime plan and then trick young people into acting as executors.
Now, let's go back to the huge line of activity that Adler mentioned: every criminal - and everyone else - follows this line of activity in pursuit of victory and a solid position.
There are many differences and mutations between these targets. People find that the criminal's goal is always pursuing their own personal superiority. The goal pursued by criminals is actually not a contribution to others at all, and criminals do not cooperate with others. Society needs all kinds of members, everyone has the ability to cooperate, can achieve each other's needs, and everyone is useful.
However, the criminal's goal does not include this usefulness to society, which is the most prominent feature of the criminal industry. After that, we will discuss why they do this. What we are going to talk about now is: If people want to understand a criminal, the key is to find out the extent and nature of the criminal's failure in cooperation.
The ability of cooperation between criminals is different. Some of them lack this ability, while others are relatively better. For example, some people will restrain themselves and only commit minor crimes, while others will commit heinous crimes. Some of them are masterminds, some of them are accomplices.
In order to understand the differences in crime, we must further explore the personal life style. A typical personal life style will be established very early. By the age of four or five, people can already see the main outline of personal life style. Therefore, it is wrong to think that changing the style of one’s life is a simple thing.
Life style reflects a person's personality. Only after understanding what mistakes a person makes when establishing his own life style can his life style change.
So, it can be understood why many criminals have been punished countless times, suffered insults and contempts, and lost all kinds of rights to social life, and still do their own things and repeatedly commit the same crimes. It is not economic difficulties that force people to commit crimes. Of course, when the economy is in a recession and people's burden increases, crime cases will rise sharply.
Statistical results show that the increase in criminal cases is positively correlated with the rise in prices. However, this is not enough to prove that economic conditions can lead to crime directly. This only means that people's behavior is restricted. For example, people have many limits to their ability to cooperate, and when they reach these limits, people cannot contribute their own strength.
Therefore, these people refused to cooperate again and joined the crime camp. Combining some other facts, it can also be found that in a superior environment, many people are not criminals, but when they encounter too many uncoitable problems in their lives, they start to commit crimes.
The most important factor affecting them is the style of their lives, which is how they deal with problems. From the experience of individual psychology, we can draw at least a very simple conclusion: the criminal is not interested in others, and their ability to cooperate is limited. If he exceeds this limit, he will start committing crimes.
When an individual faces a difficult problem, his limit of cooperation can easily collapse.
If you consider the life problems that everyone must face and the problems that criminals cannot solve, you will find that in people's lives, the main thing that needs to be solved is social problems. There are no other problems other than that, and social problems can only be solved when an individual is interested in others.
