Parvo Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Judge Alan Goldsack QC, retiring is quoted in the star: a frightening thing is the number of people I see who are the grandchildren of the people I have prosecuted and defended 40 years ago – because crime runs in families in the same way that being a doctor, teacher or lawyer does. “We have to get in on the ground and remove young babies from the families that are going to produce the next generation of criminals, and that is why I did family law right up until the end because I think it is very important work. http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/crime/remove-children-from-criminal-families-says-sheffield-judge-1-5708134 whilst I can see his point I would doubt that it would work particularly well.....

Parvo Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 They have the same genes too I would think it was 'nurture' rather than nature when it comes to criminal behaviour though. with the exception of psycho/socio paths and even then environment plays a big part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I would think it was 'nurture' rather than nature when it comes to criminal behaviour though. Quite probably, which means that we can help those families to change, and not take away their children. But then how do you stop all these millionaires fiddleing their expenses and these top stars sexually assaulting young girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anywebsite Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 but how do you change behaviour that people don't perceive as wrong? That's the thing, the politicians feel entitled to rob us blind & the TV presenters think they can have any kid they want, nobody tells them any different.
