Jer....

I took a criminology course a few semesters back. First one I had taken
in eons. It ain't my field, but I was really shocked at how many
criminologists buy into certain gene-related theories today. That ***
was way-taboo back in the 60's and 70's. I won't pretend to understand
specifics, but yeah, at least with the current crop of criminologists,
there's a belief that a certain percentage of criminal tendencies are
inherited. I'm also not sure of how the psychologists and geneticists
feel about that. It was surprising.
