Think about biological factors that might be associated
with criminal behavior. Do you agree that criminal behavior can be biological, or
even genetic?

Actually a study done in the netherlands showed that a majority of men on death row were "supermen" meaning they had a genetic disorder giving them an extra Y chromosome (Y is the chromosome that imparts "maleness") This means that they have XYY chromosomes and this could cause them to be more aggressive because of the higher than normal levels of testerone.

Well I did try to steel a small Teddy bear under my hat in kindergarden. humm maybe I am born to run. gee I never thought of it that way. ok sorry I'm being rude.
ok really.... you didn't mention what kind of criminal. Are you talking the killing raping kind or the smuggling ruffster kind or the scamming fraud kind people who affect other people or people who hurt companies. The list it way to large to pin point here. But yes some may have a cell or two out of wack but cities are a breading ground for disruption.

I don't. No one is born with a criminal trait. If it were true then this could have been detected in a person while he is yet only a child - from its behavior.

yes i do. to a degree. i dont mean all people who have criminal parents are inclined to be the same, but i do think there is a good chance people inherrit certain ways of thinking and genteic code that deny us the ability to see reason etc.
