Prompt: Some scientists believe that they can tell whether a child will grow up to be a criminal by studying his or her behavior at the age of three. What is your opinion?

In recent years tremendous advancements have been occurred in various fields of science and crime detection is one. By help of these improvements it is claimed that scientist can predict the child's potential to become criminal in early childhood. In my opinion it can't be a reasonable and beneficial trend. Ċ First of all there are several environmental factors that turn a human to a criminal and the childhood behavior doesn't play an important role. When studying the life story of thieves, killers, offenders, it is observed that their bad family condition, hunger, poverty and being bad treated are the key elements leading them to nasty and crimes. Although by studying their early ages it can be seen that most of them haven't shown different behaviors and attitudes than the other children and it has been just the life's conditions that have made them criminals. Ċ Moreover, it is not fair to label a child as a potential criminal. Their acts and actions are just formed according to their parent's behavior and what they learn in their family. Most of small children that show inappropriate behavior grow up in families that parents are not aware of the roles of raising a child and so they show some misbehavior. It is obvious that knowing them as a potential criminal and separating from others is not fair and will have negative effects on their feeling. Ċ In conclusion considering the facts that children's behavior in childhood doesn't have any relation with possibility of becoming a criminal in future and also unfairness of considering some children as future criminals I am completely against of the idea of finding and investigating future criminals by analyzing childhood behavior.
