My own crime theory is a mixture of different theories that have been made throughout the last years/centuries. I think crime happens basically, because criminals think different than other people, they grow up in a different behaviour than people who are not committing crime, they saw things others haven`t seen and their brain works different, that means that criminals sometimes need the crime, because they are addicted to it. The last point is that sometimes criminals (especially serial killers) have a low self-esteem and they like recognition and that`s one reason for them to commit crime.
My example for my theory is the serial killer John Eric Armstrong he had 5-18 victims and his way to torture and kill those people was to rape and strangulate them. His goal was to kill every prostitute he ever slept with. The reasons are not known but it could be because he had a tough childhood.
John Eric Armstrong was obviously thinking different, when he was a kid his father abused him and his brother died and that was really hard for him. He started murdering with 19 years and after that his low self-esteem wanted more recognition and he kept on raping and killing prostitues.
