Some people think that criminal behaviour has genetic causes. Others believe that it is circumstances that lead people to commit a crime. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Through the centuries, society debated the origins of criminal behaviour. Many people believe that the root of unlawful habits relies on genetic, physical characteristics. While others claim that

crime

is a behaviour that depends on the circumstances and background of the perpetrator. In

this

essay, I will thoroughly explore both viewpoints and provide my opinion. From antiquity to the present day, people assume that the misconduct it brings breaks social rules lies under the physical condition of the offender. Under those circumstances, minorities, people with some disability or without good looks were labelled as suspects or potential criminals. Recently, with genetic studies and DNA discovery, some researchers tried to find a correlation between law infringement and genetics. To date, no one has proven any one

person

's genetic propensity for

crime

.

Although

the failure of some genes can lead to mental disorders,

for example

, these problems still do not make a

person

a delinquent, not to mention that criminals do not necessarily have any mental issues, the reason why I do not support

this

viewpoint. 

On the other hand

, we have theories that consider the background and social reach of those who commit some type of felony.  According to related studies, criminal behaviour is not an inherited trait, but

a condition that might be practised by any

person

, independently of their ethnicity, disorder  or any  other physical attributes. Forthwith, exposure to

crime

, either by relatives or peers, have a

person

frustrated with  his or her social condition an option to commit delicts. Equally important, in scenarios of severe poverty and social instability, it is possible to see individuals of a wide variety of aspects committing some sort of law offence. 

Therefore

, I support

this

perspective, because

crime

is an attitude

that is

learned rather than born.  In conclusion, I strongly believe that criminals are not determined to

this

type of conduct from birth.

Instead

, the social environment of a

person

can influence his or her choice to commit transgressions. For

this

reason, society and law enforcement officers must be educated to avoid any discrimination against individuals from ethnic minorities or those with a disability.
