This article discusses the interaction between genes, the
environment and the impact they have on criminal behavior. In the article the
researchers discusses three different ways in which psychologists have
researched whether or not humans can be predisposed to commit a crime.
Researchers looked at Twin Studies, Adoption Studies, and Family Studies.
Researchers also looked at the different neurochemicals that interact with the
environment which can cause the predisposition. A lot of the information in this article was
more biologically based once I got into the reading but overall it was very
interesting.
