Science finds that by studying the behavior of three-year old children they can predict if they will grow up to be criminals. To what extent is criminality related to human nature? Is it possible to stop children from being a criminal when they grow up?

It may be possible to predict scientifically if

will grow up and turn to crime. While
this

may suggest some link to human nature, I believe that
children

all have the chance to grow up and become law-abiding citizens. It seems absurd to condemn
children

as evil criminals at the age of 3. Parents have an enormous influence on shaping a child’s values during the formative years of a child’s

Secondly

with good role models. Modern consumer culture has a negative influence on individual families, with the result that

there is no hope for young

On the contrary
