The book I am currently reading is “The Psychology of Criminal behaviour and Violence” The chapter I am currently on is about Genetics and Evolution. It explains how there is a part of DNA that could influence to make it more likely for the child to be involved in criminal behaviour.

“Although he was raised by a loving family, Jeffrey Landrigan lived a life of crime, just as his biological father had. Landrigan’s case raises questions about the role of genetics in criminal and violent behaviour.

I think this case study shows that even though someone is raises in loving condition, they still could be a criminal. And that good nuture may minimize but not fully get rid of one’s true self even if it is negative.
