They say that this behavior is naturally engrained in people and must be treated as an illness and not be judged on it. As some recent studies has been held, it seems that some genes are in fact responsible of aggressive or criminal acts. To explore the potential genetic underpinnings of criminal behavior, the authors conducted a genetic analysis involving nearly eight hundred Finnish citizens. All had been accused of a crime, and were incarcerated in one of nineteen Finnish prisons, the study noted. Some crimes involved nonviolent behavior, including property theft and drug-dealing. Others, however, had been found guilty of repeatedly engaging in extremely violent offenses, including at least ten acts of murder and/or assault. In all, 215 participants were classified as "nonviolent offenders," while 538 were deemed "violent". A subgroup of the violent offender group included 84 people who were deemed "extremely violent", according to the study. DNA samples from the criminals were compared to the DNA of more than 2,000 non-incarcerated Finnish citizens who'd given DNA samples for a previous …show more content…

While research has identified some genetic factors that may be associated with increased risk for violent behavior, it is important to recognize that genetics alone do not determine behavior. Environmental factors also play a significant role in shaping behavior. This means that while biological factors may contribute to the perpetration of sexual violence, larger societal structures must also be taken into account when examining the causes of sexually motivated

Surprisingly, "on average, American youth view more than 1,000 murders, rapes, and assaults each year" (Rockefeller 2).

Studies have proven that "children who view media violence are more likely to have increased feelings of hostility, decreased emotional response to the portrayal of violence and injury that lead to violent behavior through imitation" (Tompkins 1).

  • Are Criminals Affected By Nature Or Nurture?

    Today, there are proven facts that people who have parents that are criminals have a high chance of becoming criminals themselves. Not only can people become criminals because of their family but they can also become criminals because of the environment that they surround themselves in. This is where nature versus nurture comes into play. A person’s nature is their genetic makeup, basically meaning that a person’s nature is the genes they get from their parents. Also, a person’s genotype, one’s genetic makeup based on the sequencing of the nucleotides we term, provides them with physical traits that set the stage for certain behaviors (56).
