Genetics and neurochemistry may predispose people to crime

 

1. Assess how genetics and neurochemistry may predispose people to crime.
2. Evaluate the ethical ramifications of interventions to deter those with genetic or neurochemical disorders from crime.
Should those with neurological and genetic disorders be treated differently by the legal system because of their disorders? If we created a society free of genetic disorder through gene therapy and control, how would that effect the operation of the criminal justice system? Would that remove the defenses based upon biological predisposition to crime? Use scholarly resources to support your explanations.
