Using semi-structured interviews, thematic analysis revealed seven key themes: family dysfunction, emotional struggle, abuse, economic struggle, peer pressure, coping mechanisms, and sensation seeking. Findings showed that family dysfunction creates baseline trauma, fostering emotional voids and maladaptive coping. The study emphasizes the interconnectedness of multiple adversities in shaping criminality. It highlights the need for early interventions addressing trauma, emotional dysregulation, and unhealthy coping patterns through supportive networks to prevent criminal behavior later in life. 2025 Taylor &amp; Francis Group, LLC.
