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

#people #behavior #circumstances #crime
People
 tend to think differently on the issue of whether criminal activities root in genetics or not. The advocate of
this
 view considers the gens as the most critical part of our thinking mechanism to the environmental problems.
However
, many disagree with
this
 point of view since they believe the social effects as the main character whilst committing crimes. To my mind, heredity has a vital role in anti-social activities as well as environmental ones. On the one hand, some behaviours of all
people
 worldwide root in heredity, which is why many gangs have relations with each other relatively.
Moreover
, most
people
's answers depend on the chemical reactions in their bodies, and one of the leading factors in
this
 matter is genetic. One illustration, in 2010, the USA government collected the family trees of offenders, and it showed that 52
percent

show examples
 of the
last
 century criminals were relative.
On the other hand
, the environment in which individuals grow up has a significant part in their lives. Take mental training as an example because the way
people
 think and educate would affect their lives completely.
As a result
, if
people
 do not receive enough knowledge in their childhood years, it is likely that they will commit a crime in the future.
In addition
, situations and
people
 which criminals face throughout their life could cause them to not distinguish right from wrong. In conclusion, considering both views, I opine that not only heredity but
also
 circumstances may contribute to leading
people
 into non-moral activities, so both of them can influence
people
's manner of life.
