Criminals are not all the same. Their criminal propensities may lead to different types of crime. The CM Model is aimed at offering a typology for classifying different types of criminal propensity. A criminal mind is a mindset that allows people to seriously consider a criminal behavior an option, and this mindset indicates criminal propensity. With this mindset, crime is seen as a solution worth considering. The CM Model categorizes criminal minds based on rationality, morality, and emotionality.
