ABSTRACT
THOUGH THE SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS OF CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR HAS OFTEN mistakenly been regarded as lodged primarily within the province of personality and abnormal psychology, research relevant to a process psychology model of criminal homicide issues not only from that quarter but from neuropsychology, social psychology, and the psychology of conditioning and learning as well. This chapter focuses on those intra-person variables that can be regarded as part of the “psychological baggage” we carry about from one behavioral situation to another.
