what is individual trait theory
The Individual Trait Theory is just as the name says a theory of criminology that states that certain personality traits can predispose one to crime.It has roots in Cesare Lombrosoâs which states that criminals are throwbacks to a more priumanity, both physically and mentally.s with all theories, there are holes in the Individual Trait Theory. While it does explain biological and social factors contributing to oneâs personality that can predispose a person to crime, there are many things it does not take into account, like situational decisions and the change in a person over time.
