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.
