Abstract

This paper explores the factors that affect people's criminal behavior. From the perspectives of genotype and environment, we have described in detail the impact of these two aspects on people's criminal motivation and behavior. First, the current study listed the ways and places in which genotype and environment will affect people's criminal behavior. For example, the effects of genotype on people include heredity, intake in the previous period, low heart rate, personality disorder, and brain structure problems; The impact of environment on people includes the original family and cultural background. In addition, the current study analyzed the case of a twin study and studied how these two factors affect people. After that, we analyze the characteristics and limitations of these impacts and study whether people themselves can change this impact. Finally, we conclude that genotype and environment can affect a person's criminal tendency differently. In addition, this criminal tendency caused by genes or environment does not necessarily make people commit criminal acts. Through correct guidance, a person can still avoid criminal acts.
