Predetermination" and "premeditation" are two different concepts in the field of criminology and criminal justice, although both are related to the planning and execution of crimes. Criminal predetermination" refers to the idea that certain individuals have a predisposition or increased risk of engaging in criminal activity due to genetic, biological, environmental and social factors. This perspective suggests that there are factors that influence the likelihood of someone becoming a criminal. However, criminal predetermination does not imply that a person is destined to commit a crime, but rather indicates an increased susceptibility to certain criminal behaviors. "Criminal premeditation" refers to the conscious, advance planning of a crime prior to its commission. It implies that the individual has thought about and organized his or her criminal actions in advance. Premeditation is an important factor in determining the seriousness of the crime and influences the legal categorization of the crime committed.
