Antisocial Behavior Theory

Antisocial Behavior Theory explores the reasons behind actions that harm or disregard the well-being of others. It suggests that such behaviors can arise from a combination of genetic factors, environmental influences (like upbringing and social surroundings), and psychological issues. Individuals displaying antisocial behavior may struggle with empathy, often leading to conflicts, aggression, or rule-breaking. Understanding this theory helps professionals identify, prevent, and address these behaviors in society, promoting healthier interactions and support for those affected.
