Task -2

Criminals are born, not made

Introduction

 Crime is an event which is harmful for people and it is the state opposition. According to Wilkins v. U. S “A crime is an act committed or omitted, in violation of a public law, either forbidding or commanding it; a breach or violation of some public right or duty due to a whole community, considered as a community. In its social aggregate capacity, as distinguished from a civil injury.” (Anon., n.d.) On the other hand, Criminal is defined as someone who has occurs a crime. Different Psychologists has different opinions about why people occurs crime.

Overview of the topic

There are two main reasons why people commit crimes one is genetically and other is inspired by people.  There are many kinds of criminals around us. Some of them are genetically and some of people made. There are huge number of criminals who are create criminal activities by inspired people. One the other hand, there are a few number of people who is generate genetically. Some children can be genetically criminal if his/her own generations any person is criminal. On the other hand, many children is criminal for their environment. A man isn’t just as a criminal back to it many reason.

Some contrasting views of the topic

There are many researchers who gave many different opinions about this topic. But all of them did not gave same opinions. Some researchers said that criminals are not born also made. If a children combine a bad friend or bad people they may be bad. There is a proverb that” Floats laden with iron”. A man can be criminal for his bad company. In addition, socializing, environment, unemployment, family condition, poverty, political system, Law enforcement are also responsible for occur a crime. At some point, a child born in an educated family, he is innocent at his childhood. But gradually when he combines with bad people or involve with politics then he start petty crime and at last he become a fulfill criminal.  Farrington & West (1990) found a link between unemployment, poverty and crime; and the most persistent offenders had not had a stable job (Anon., n.d.). In our world many criminal but all of them are not made by gene. For this mainly responsible their nature and environment. When a criminal born he is innocent but day by day his environment bound him for crime. One the other hand, researchers have claimed that some people may be born with genes that makes them inherently violent. A human body contains many kind of genes. Some of them are maintain for his/her behaviors. Mainly two kind of gene is responsible for children violence. One is variant of cadherin 13 (CDH13), which is involved in neural connectivity, and has been linked to impulse control in extremely violent offenders. Other is monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) that contributes to less recycling of the neurotransmitter, dopamine. (Anon., 2014) Mednick (1987) and Bohman (1995) looked at court convictions and criminal records of 14,000 people and their biological and adoptive parents. Professor Jari Tiihonen and colleagues at the Institute analyzed the genes of 895 Finnish people found guilty of criminal behavior, organizing them by the crimes they have committed. (Anon., 2014)
