Depression is a common factor for different acts, such as committing suicide, inflicting self-injuries, hyperactivity in adulthood, and being insane. All these actions are deviant and self-destructive because the victims hurt themselves instead of others. It is imperative that people understand the causes so that they can work on avoiding related promotional circumstances (Thio et al. 2009). This paper will explain the above self-destructive behaviours accordingly. It will also discuss the implications and relevance of the information in the criminal justice field. Then there will be a conclusion to the subject.

Then there will be a conclusion to the subject. I. Desire for Death The desire for death is a feeling that makes people commit suicide. The feeling has a connection to two psychological states, namely, lack of a sense of belonging and perceived burdensomeness. Lack of a sense of belonging refers to low social integration, which leads to lack of involvement in stable relationships. [...]
[...] The workers in the facilities should try to be sensitive to the needs of the patients instead of labeling them as insane and subsequently treating them inappropriately. In conclusion, this paper explains four forms of self-destructive deviance. The desire for death for death results from feelings of burdensomeness and lack of belonging. If one gets a lethal way of ending the desperation, he or she may commit suicide.

Insanity is a condition that one cannot recognize definitively. [...]
[...] Deviant Behavior and Criminal Justice The information provided above on the deviances has immense relevance to the Criminal Justice Field. One of the relevance is that it provides in-depth knowledge on the root causes of the deviances, of which the relevant policy makers can adjust the policies so that they address the problems accordingly. For example, the information on the combination of factors that make one decide to commit suicide can be helpful for a country like China. This country is recording the highest number of suicides than any country. [...]
[...] However, labeling patients as insane and their subsequent treatment in the mental facilities can drive a sane person to be insane. The emergence of adult Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder is crucial in broadening the treatments that were limited to children alone. All these deviances are relevant to the Criminal Justice Field because they raise awareness, provide different perspectives of the direction of research, and raise policy concerns that inform the development of reliable policies.

[...] Furthermore, they create deviant meanings and rationalizations to justify their deviance. Being alone deprives them of the benefits of being part of a deviant subculture, which can provide one with justifications and rationalizations that counteract their deviant behavior. In addition, they are easily swayed by conventional lifestyles, which keep them from taking their deviant acts to too far (Thio et al. 2009). Additionally, self-destructive deviance is also associated with the treatment of patients in mental institutions as though they are all insane. [...]
