do you really think people are genetically predisposed to criminal behavior?

Well I think there are certain behaviors and other psychological traits that make criminal behavior more likely, and there is a hereditary basis for those traits.

For example, difficulty regulating emotions, delaying gratification, and impulsivity are all associated traits that have a hereditary basis. And those traits make poor decision making more likely, which would likely include and lead to a number of criminal behavior.

Maybe I should have been more clear when using genetic predisposition, but I don't mean that there is a genetic profile for the specific criminal behavior, just the hereditary conditions of behaviors that make them more likely more generally.
