this a lost belief? To me it seems that in todays world, there could be no scientific proof that there exists biological determinism in anti-social or delinquent acts. Thoughts?

okay in clear terms, do biological factors ( genes, heredities, skull formations, body shape, body type) determine if a person is more likely to be a criminal? Or is it striclty psychological (environmental, family-related, social-learning).....thoughts?

actually, i think there is a biological factor. for example, when i watch the news, child molesters look a certain way, and as we know looks are decided by genes (i also think personalities are partially gene affected). certain looks are really the only common factor among these tiny balled freaks, so that leads me to think of a possibility of small biological factor. however, this is no excuse for their actions. everybody gets evil ideas, and most of us can easily override them and forget them in the same instant that they were conceived. how they were raised and where they were raised also play major factors. now im not a psychologist or a gene specialist. in fact, im not even out of high school, so i could very well be wrong.

I say 'yes'. Chemical dependency and imbalances can cause people to engage in erratic behaviors. Malnutrition messes with your head too, so sometimes being a crime-fighter means ensuring that people have enough to eat. Crime, though, implies a person acting against others in a deliberately dishonest or violent way, and there's a lot of things that can contribute to a person's mental state and inclination to behave in that way.
Education's a big one, kids that flunk out of school have no chance to make it in a knowledge-based ecnomy, when the schools get overloaded though you're paving a path to disaster.
One biological factor, I guess you could say, is 'too many kids per teacher'....
