Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to study the sociological impacts on the behavior of political dictator leaders with an emphasis on the teachings of criminal science. The question of the research is whether the current approaches and models of criminal psychology, which also have sociological consequences, can analyze and identify the personality and behavior of dictators, given the capacity of political psychology? Given the Disorders capacities of the Eight Enneagram Types, it seems that some of the characteristics of psychoanalysis and extroversion in Eysenck's theory have the scientific capacity to identify such a context. The results indicate that consequences such as the existence of political opposition prisoners through a warrior, high-level violence to control possible riots, the loop of close people that are often corrupt, the existence of impulsive and reckless behaviors, lying as a tool to achieve personal benefits, etc. are of the least criminological consequences is these mental disorders.
