Some scientists believe that studying the behaviors of 3-year-old children can predict their criminality. To what extent do you think a crime is a product of human nature or is it possible to stop children from growing up to be criminals?

Researchers today believe that observing toddlers' behaviour can help them to tell their adult characteristics in advance and that criminality is part of human formation. I strongly disagree with the statement.

This

essay will discuss my reasons and why I think it is possible to direct toddlers in a way they should walk. On the one hand, it is understandable that scientists are able to tell the future of

children

because of the characteristics that they display in their early years.

For example

, psychologists are able to know if a child will be a public speaker once he or she is older.

This

has turned out to be true in many cases,

however

, it is

for

this

reason that science people think they can guess if the child will engage in stealing activities when older.

On the other hand

, I strongly disagree that robbery is part of human nature.

This

is because,

first,

children

are born innocent. They do not know anything about performing crimes or swearing at people in their environment. But,

this

changes when

children

live with guardians who are thieves and indulge in fighting scenes. To illustrate

this

, some research has shown that young

children

are like sponges, they soak everything that they watch and hear from those around them.

Consequently

, toddlers start to think that fighting and using swearing words are acceptable.

Hence

, as they get older, they start doing the same. But,

this

can be avoided by implementing parenting styles that are strict and bringing up

children

in environments with good morals. Child development requires families to provide support and model

children

's behaviours. Good parenting skills will help

children

become well-behaved.

Therefore

,

although

researchers think

children

's behaviour predicts their future, I think

this

is not true and

children

can be modelled to be kind and responsible citizens. In summary, scientists believe that criminals are easily recognised at an early age of 3. Though

this

is true, I believe not all

children

become criminals and they can be changed.
