	Deviant Behavior
		The treatment attempted on those classified as deviants is based upon the believed cause of their deviant behavior.
		He claimed that endomorphs, those with soft, round bodies had tendencies to be easygoing, sociable, and self indulgent, ectomorphs with thin and delicate frames, were more likely to have nervous, artistic and introspective personalities, while mesomorphs with muscular, agile bodied people were apt to be energetic, restless and somewhat insensitive to others.
		The body type of the person is only very indirectly responsible for the behavior, in that a round person is not likely to become a cat burglar for sheer lack of stealth, and a fragile and thin person is not likely to be invited to join a gang.

	Deviant Crimes (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This paper is a brief attempt to introduce the reader to psychopathy as it relates to deviant crimes.
		Psychopathy is relevant to the study of deviant crimes because many offenders demonstrate traits of this character disturbance, and is best described in the writings of Hare (1993), Meloy (1988), and Cleckley (1988).
		This is often displayed through chronic antisocial acts (those which deviate from the socially acceptable norms of society and violate the rights of others), because the psychopath also seems to lack the ability to conceptualize the consequences of his or her actions.
