Criminality: The Biological Accident

Abstract

Criminality refers to delinquent behavior of committing objectionable acts that are forbidden by the law. While a criminal act craves the necessity of Actus Reus and Mens Rea to be labeled as such, the matter of preeminence is the cause of abomination. While social and environmental factors have a prodigious domination over someone's behaviour, our concern is the genetic nexus of such behaviour. Genetic Diversity mainly caters a way for populations to adapt to the environment. Adapting and conforming, however, can be used in scathing someone else, or property or a community. The paper promulgates and thus explains the correlation between delinquency and its genetic basis.
