Explanation:

1. Jeremy Bentham indeed had his embalmed body, known as "Auto - Icon," shown at events. His hedonistic calculus posits that punishment must outweigh the pleasure of crime to deter it.
2. Genes are distinct portions of a cell's DNA that carry coded instructions for making everything the body needs. Chromosomes are structures containing DNA, somatotypes are body - type classifications, and biochemical imbalances refer to chemical irregularities in the body.
3. Early feminist criminology argued that differences in crime rates between men and women were due to socialization rather than just biology or the criminal justice system. Women's suffrage is related to the right to vote and not the main factor in crime - rate differences.
4. Behavioral conditioning is the psychological principle that the frequency of any behavior can be increased or decreased through reward, punishment, and association with other stimuli. Heritability refers to the proportion of variation in a trait due to genetic factors, profiling is used for identifying characteristics of individuals, and psychoanalysis is Freud's theory.
5. Personality refers to the relatively stable characteristic patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that make a person unique and influence their behavior. Social norms are rules of behavior in a society, behavioral conditioning is about behavior modification, and psychological profiling is for identifying individual characteristics.
6. Psychoanalysis is a theory of human behavior based on Sigmund Freud's writings that sees personality as a complex composite of interacting mental entities. Anomie refers to a state of normlessness, social development theory focuses on social aspects of development, and psychopathology is the study of mental disorders.
7. The central defining characteristic of a psychopath is a lack of empathy. Hallucinations are sensory perceptions without external stimuli, neuroticism is a personality trait related to emotional instability, and impulsiveness is acting without thinking.
8. Eysenck's personality dimension most closely correlated with criminality is psychoticism. Introversion/extroversion is about social orientation, psychopathology is a field of study, and neuroticism/emotional stability is about emotional reactivity.
