Baroness Thompson Assignment: 2 Modules 2 Crime and Causes PSY: 493 Instructor: Jon Stern

A psychiatric intern is trained in various areas of recognizing unwanted behavior. If the 18 teen years old is displaying dangerous behavior he should be isolated. This will protect him and staff. His family can have say in his medical evaluation. He should be observed for 48 hours. His observation will help staff identifies the antecedent of his behavior. In a medical perspective ,we can observe and try to identify individual abnormal behavior.The antecedent may or may not be found in a physical examination. In psychiatric we can look for thisn examination, hormonal imbalance, chemical deficiency or genetic factors may be found. If the young man had been taken ecstasy or any other controlled substance he might be under withdraw.

Biological Abnormalities

The inmate is 18 teen years old so he can call shots in regards to his treatment. Genetic factors play a major role n an individual’s behavior. If we focus on sociocultural perspective, his mental situation may become complicated. We can assume his behavior is an antecedent of his society or culture. He may believe if he acts a certain way he will be treated differently, and go to a mental ward. In regards to the behavioral perspective, it would be hard to decipher his unwanted behavior. Abnormal behavior is a very difficult aspect to uncover. Correlation isn’t always causation. His behavior may be an antecedent of his environmental stimuli. This could also reinforce his negative or positive behavior. In closing, the inmate has a need that hasn’t been meeting. From my experience juveniles look for help the best way they can. He being in the psyche ward is the best action for his health. He will be diagnosed and

Treated. He isn’t in jail he is in the psychiatric woard. That is appropriate for his abnormal behavior.
