Many researchers believe that we can now study the behavior of children, to see if they will grow up to be criminals, while others disagree. To what extent do you think crime is determined by genetics? Is it possible to stop children from growing up to be criminals?

Most scientists think that we can analyze the behaviour of

kids

to divine/predict/define their

future

and to know exactly whether they will be

criminals

or not, but another part of the scientific group disagrees with

this

. In my opinion,

children

can not inherit “criminal genes” and criminal intentions are affected by their surroundings and life situations. From a biological view,

. DNA is a collection of genes from both

and DNA contains

information

only about physical traits and illnesses and nothing else. People's genes store all the

about their blood type, eye colour and state of health and science can predict the

appearance of your child, but not his

crimes. Personal traits and preferences are constantly being formed, especially at a young age, when you are absorbing every bit of

information

like a sponge.

Therefore

,

children

’s behaviour is the result of upbringing, which means that personality traits can be developed over time. There are several measures that shall be taken to raise obedient citizens.

First

of all,

parents

and the school education system have to do some interactions with

kids

to give them an understanding of the basic things that in the right society are considered good and bad.

Kids

have a clear mind and they are easily influenced by others and it is really important to use it in the right way.

Children
