Causes of Aggression

Chapter 12 discusses two broad influences on the development of aggression — biological origins, social influences, and combined biological/social influences (e.g., the interaction of genes and environmental triggers).

Find a recent news story in which someone was aggressive and/or antisocial, harming others. Briefly state the facts of the story and then choose the theory of influences that you think best explains how this individual developed aggressive traits. Then chose one of the influences outlined on pp. 489-297 to create a hypothesis about this individual’s early social experiences led to the aggressive/violent behavior. 

Include the reference and/or link to where you found this story so others can engage with you in discussing it.
