KOMPARASI BUDAYA JEPANG DAN PRANCIS MELALUI KOMIK DETEKTIF

Psychologically, humans have a tendency to love reality and fiction because of life in between. With its unlimited imagination, humans can choose the preferred model of reality or fiction. If he chooses to be a good observer, a good and patient guesser in waiting for answers to important questions, the detective story can be an interesting reading alternative. In general, the detective story developed along with the rapid urbanization as a result of the industrial revolution. Life in big cities becomes insecure because of the increasing population density, unemployment, poverty and crime. To be able to reduce the saturation and tension experienced everyday, the public also entertain themselves with reading. Apparently people love reading about mysterious or even frightening events, because it always ends with a rational explanation of the various puzzles that cling to the reading. The crime-themed book makes readers familiar with the presence of criminals and law enforcers who are hunting him. Comics also called 'image literature', can also be a medium of telling of crimes favored by various circles. In this paper, we will discuss the phenomenon of the existence of detective comics in France and Japan with cultural comparative methods and studied with relevant theories. The results showed that because they came from different cultural backgrounds and published times, several things were found that showed differences between French and Japanese detective comics, including those related to characterization, public, story and cultural backgrounds, and comic formats. While the things that are common among them are the profession of detective figures who work more independently and prominently, and the presence of local police who are supportive of the character's movements, despite the fact that they often arrive late at the scene.

Interpersonal and Affective Psychopathy Traits Can Enhance Human Fitness

Recently, attempts have been made to determine the evolutionary status of psychopathy. However, there is still a gap in empirical literature regarding the connection between psychopathy and fitness. In the present study, we explored the relations between the four-factor model of psychopathy and reproductive success as a fitness indicator in a sample of male convicts (N = 181). Direct relations were analyzed, together with the interaction effects between psychopathy and family risk factors (presence of criminality, substance abuse, and maltreatment in participants’ families). Basic regression models showed that the facet of interpersonal style is positively related to fitness, while other psychopathic characteristics had a negative connection with the criterion measure. Additionally, we found three significant interactions, which further clarified the relation between psychopathy and reproductive success. One of the interactions showed that affective traits can facilitate fertility in unfavorable environmental conditions. Results support a hypothesis of a possible adaptive function of psychopathy, broaden the concept of “successful psychopathy,” and confirm a view of psychopathy as a heterogeneous and complex construct, consisting of facets with distinct content.

Heterogeneity of causes for delinquency and criminality: Lifespan perspectives

AbstractThis review of family, twin, and adoption studies on offender behaviors points to the importance of a genetic predisposition as a partial explanation for criminality in some populations. Twin and adoption studies show that criminality increases with the presence of criminality in biological relatives; the environmental effects of having a criminal adoptive parent also increase the risk of adoptee criminality. Delinquency is described developmentally as a fairly typical phase for many adolescents. Because of the high base rate for delinquency, any genetic predisposition for offense behaviors may be difficult to uncover in adolescence. Three groups are differentiated that may aid in this detection: continuous antisocials are delinquents who continue to be criminal as adults; transitory delinquents are delinquents but not criminals; and late bloomers are criminals but not delinquents.
