Extract

The biological explanation of criminal behaviour is a structural account of describing why people commit crimes. Structure-based explanations argue that human actions/ behaviours are driven by forces beyond their control. This can be administered by rules, views/opinions, faith, pressures and, in biological terms, inherited genes.
The claims of the biological explanation have been under development since the early 19th century by amateur scientists and eugenicists. The latter claiming mentally ill, foreigners, criminals, disabled and the economically deprived all obtain genetic imperfections that are irremediable. Their only cure for this would be sterilisation of this category.
Over the recent decades the study in understanding genes and how they work has been deeply explored giving us an insight into the structure known as DNA and how we inherit certain characteristics and biological structures from our parents.
