William Sheldon's Somatotypes Theory || Endomorphs Mesomorph Ectomorphs | Biological Theory of Crime

William Sheldon's 3 types of Somatotypes Theory || Biological or personality theory by Sheldon || Endomorphs || Mesomorph || Ectomorphs in criminology and sociology

Sheldon was a psychologist who proposed the theory of somatotypes, suggesting a link between body types and criminal behavior.

According to William Sheldon's theory, somatotypes are body types that are associated with certain personality traits. Sheldon proposed three main somatotypes: endomorphs, mesomorphs, and ectomorphs. 1. Endomorphs:
These individuals tend to have a higher percentage of body fat and a rounder physique. They are often described as having a softer and more relaxed personality. They are believed to be sociable, friendly, and easygoing.
2. Mesomorphs:
Mesomorphs are characterized by a muscular and athletic build. They are often seen as strong, energetic, and assertive. Sheldon's theory suggested that mesomorphs were more likely to engage in aggressive and criminal behavior.
3. Ectomorphs: Ectomorphs have a lean and slender body type with less muscle mass. They are often described as introverted, sensitive, and intellectual. According to Sheldon's theory, ectomorphs were less likely to engage in criminal behavior.

According to his theory, individuals with a mesomorphic body type, characterized by a muscular and athletic build, were more likely to engage in criminal activities. However, it's important to note that Sheldon's theory has been widely criticized and is not widely accepted in the field of criminology today. Many factors contribute to criminal behavior, and it's essential to consider a range of social, psychological, and environmental factors when studying crime.
