Many scientists believe that now we can study the behavior of a three-year-old child to see whether they will grow up to be criminals. To what extent do you think crime is determined by human nature?

There have been some claims made by scientists that whether a
child
 might commit a
crime
 in the future or not can be predicted
through

 analysing his behaviour. I totally disagree with
this
 idea and I believe
although
 genes do play a role, the primary determinant is nurture,
education
 and bringing up. It is definitely possible to mould a
child
 in any direction by proper bringing-up. If we adopt the mindset that if
parents
 are criminals,
then
 their children will be criminals too, we are limiting or even damaging the individual’s basic right to achieve his best. Children can rise above the gene pool and rise to great heights. Even if a
child
 is born to criminal
parents
 but brought up away from that environment and provided quality
education
, he will not be a criminal. There is a correlation between
crime
 and poverty. A
child
 from a poor family with constant exposure to violence is likely to conduct illegal acts. In order to prevent
crime
,
parents
, the media and the government should make efforts together.
Parents
 should afford a good environment for the growth of youngsters. Proper guidance should be provided through daily activities.
Further
, the media press should pay more attention to the quality of their reports and avoid excessive report the bloody news. Schools should make
crime
education
 mandatory.
Crime
 prevention should be added to regular lessons. In conclusion, though nature may be a marginal factor in criminal psychology, I believe that emphasis on the social environment is the real key to fighting
crime
. It is
therefore
 important to invest in social services,
education
, and
child
 welfare programs.
