Biological Criminal Behavior Paper

Choose a criminal offender who committed crimes due to a biological, psychological, or rational choice condition.

• Adam Lanza, the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter, was reported to suffer from Asperger’s Syndrome.
• Charles  Whitman, known as the Texas Tower Sniper, was found to have a tumor  (discovered post-mortem), which is alleged to have played a role in his  overt acts of aggression.
• Alex Hribal, arrested for the Franklin Regional High School murders, may have had a cognitive deficit issue.
