It is proven that crime often runs in families. In fact, chronic criminals are proven to be three times more likely to have criminal children. However, despite this information, scientists have no basis to come to any conclusions with this data. Therefore, one must consider other possible factors that may create a criminal mind, to come to a reasonable decision as to how one is developed.
It is proven that there is a connection between diet and crime. There is a strong correlation between poor nutrition and violent crime. Nutrition can often further aggravate a person's condition. The L.A. probation department, which is the nation's largest correctional agency, banned all toxins such as chocolate bars, sugars, and refined foods. By doing that, it was proven that a dietary change to healthy food can lower anti-social behavior by about forty six percent. Sugar consumption can cause a chain reaction in the body leading to anti-social behavior because the pancreas releases insulin which makes excess glucose. When John Hinckley tried to kill president Regean he was living on a diet of fast food, coffee, and sugary soft drinks. This shows that our biochemical make-up can also contribute to a persons motivation to criminal behavior but the way our body reacts to certain environmental toxins is not a valid explanation for criminal behavior. .

In today's society there are many factors that are proven to provoke act of violence. Canada's current rate of violent crime is one fifth of that of the United States, which proves that criminal behavior is not solely caused do to hereditary factors. Television contributes greatly to the idea of violence being imprinted onto criminals minds. In fact if you watch television for one hundred hours, you would witness at least twelve murders. As well Canada has a much stricter gun control law in comparison to the USA. If more guns are available than it can be certain that these guns will be used in the pursuit of crime.
