SUMMARY:The role of moral emotions in crime causation - Neema Trivedi
DTSTART:20131105T131000Z
DTEND:20131105T140000Z
UID:TALK48263@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr Katherine Bowers
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the role of moral emotion and morality in c
 rime\ncausation by presenting data from the Peterborough Adolescent and Yo
 ung Adult Development Study (PADS+)\, a 10-year longitudinal study with a 
 sample of 700 young people. This will include data from in-depth interview
 s with a violent subsample. Morality has been largely ignored within crimi
 nological research\; furthermore\, within morality\, moral emotions have b
 een relatively neglected. Until recently\, criminology offered no theory t
 o adequately explain how and under what circumstances crime occurs. Situat
 ional Action Theory offers an explanation of crime in which it views all a
 cts of crime as acts of moral rule breaking\, and crucially\, attempts to 
 explain how individual factors such as moral emotion interact with environ
 mental factors.
