Crime is an anti-social act done in a moment of fury and then for some it becomes a habit to break the law. I agree with Wouter Buikhuisen's observation that it could be hereditary. It isn't that a criminal father could have a criminal son, but that, in my observation, it is a racial trait, dominant in some and recessive in others. Since races tend to have similar religious and political idealogies, crime tends to be more in certain races. A prison has criminals from all races, backgrounds and religions, but you will find that some races have significant representation.It is due to the fact that they are more agressive,more reckless and least bothered about obeying the law of the land or worry about the consequences of their reckless acts. For example Jats in Punjab are a martial race, who migrated to Punjab during the Greek invasion of India from the western border. The other predominant races are the kshatriya Sikhs and Hindus brahmins. The difference in their genetic traits is reflected from the fact that the Jats are agressive, getting more into trouble with others and police, while the Hindus are timid, avoid confrontation and will get least into trouble. The Sikhs are bolder than the Hindus but less agressive than the Jats. Similar is the case with Muslims and Christians. Muslims are more agressive than Christians, though both get into trouble with the law. The recent global activities support what I have stated. So, Wouter Buikhuisen's study needs to be further evaluated, and we might find that violent gene that is making the world a violent place! And yes, my congratulations to Wouter Buikhuisen for getting back to his university as respected criminologist.
