The notion of “labelling” individuals with mental illness diagnoses and its subsequent consequences has in particular been a tremendous learning experience. The labelling theory proposes that cultural stereotypes of mental illness serves as a self-fulfilling prophecy, through which patients play a expected role, hence validating the original definition (Jones & Cochrane 1981, p.100).

Labelling theory and biological positivism are two such theories within contemporary society that share this overarching goal.

This essay will consider the question "Does criminal labelling encourage criminal behaviour?" and will answer it by giving an overview as to what criminal labelling is, outlining

Labelling is similar to stereotyping but
