In modern literature there are many interesting materials and research on criminal psychology. But this is almost exclusively criminal psychology, that is to study the behavior and mental state at the time of the guilty of the crime. In this literature there are many useful guidelines for the court investigator and prosecutor overseeing the investigation.
But for the prosecutor and defense counsel has a value of more than just human psychology, i.e. the study of what defendant changed his mind before making a criminal. Psychology of crime is to explain the fact according to personal characteristics, mental and spiritual motivations of the criminal. The Prosecutor alleges that these incentives have led them to the defendant according to his character to commit crimes. Defender argues that it was not, or because there was no such intentions, or because the defendant, by its nature could not commit a crime, even though such motives in cash, or that he did it under pressure from accidental circumstances. The facts of the case and reviews the witnesses ascertain personal qualities participants in the drama, and from these properties criminal outcome. This is a natural method of psychological parsing, and in normal conditions, each speaker will exactly this way in explaining things. Although the construction of a special speech, he reasons, might be to elect a different artificial scheme. Thus, our psychology is divided into two divisions: a) the characteristics of the defendant, and c) his emotional impulses.
Characteristics must be impartial in his speech the prosecutor, restrained in speech advocate.
To characterize the defendant, he must renounce all preconceived opinions. For the time being his only task - to understand the man. Let no one, he thinks of the possible conclusions from the fact that the defendant understands well, and not otherwise. Of course, the same person, the perpetrator or the victim, congealer or instigator, in most cases will be submitted to unequal, according as whether peers in his accuser or counsel. |
