There are 2 Prevailing Theories of "Extreme"

"Anti-Social" Behavior:

 

1. Irrationalism

 

Irrationalist Theory is the Insanity Theory. 

​

Irrationalist Theory of Crime and Murder is still widely being debated and discussed. We have to ask, Why?

 

Are we to believe men are more irrational than women because they commit more crimes? 

​

​You can say all children are less rational and are often delinquents, but they are not irrational, no more than men are more irrational than women.

​

But I would use children as a clue to the root cause of adult criminal behavior. That doesn't mean we have to transpose the same level of "innocence" onto an adult. 

​

​2. Immoralism

​

Immoralist Theory is the Good vs Evil Theory.

​

Good vs Evil is a religious concept and has to be based on religious scriptures. It’s not a secular concept at all although it keeps being used in secular settings without religious underpinning or scriptural support. 

​

Religious works tend to equate all men as essentially indistinguishable with respect to "good and evil" with the real battle of light and dark taking place in a completely different realm. 

 

The greater evil here is not considered to be the one with the greater crimes but the one with the greater knowledge (advanced and in advance). This makes it hard to judge a greater guilt or a greater evil. 

​

Immorality is a universally shared trait (and widely imposed, like irrationality, by irreligionists, but only on specific individuals or groups). It doesn't help us.

​

Then there’s a third theory:

 

3. Extremism or Xtremism

 

Extremist Psychology Theory is simply that: Extremism Theory.  It’s never promoted unless they’re talking about Religious Extremists. 

​

We will use the term Xtremist to differentiate from that common usage of Extremism.
