Abstract Criminal thinking style refers to the thinking content and cognitive process that helps to implement and maintain habitual antisocial behavior and criminal behavior. As a distorted cognitive mode, criminal thinking style has a significant positive predictive effect on criminal behavior and recidivism. Criminal thinking style is influenced by demographic variables such as age, education level, personality characteristics such as low self-control, psychosis and situational factors such as family environment and peer relationship. The follow-up research needs to pay more attention to the concept connotation, action mechanism, measurement tools, influencing factors and intervention mechanism of criminal thinking mode.
