is criminal behavior learned

their environment is a crucial role in development. No one can live life without learning in some type of form. But if your counter argument is that instinct is not learned, i say, instinct for a human is only relevant when ones life is in danger physically... like if you get jumped..and requires you to kill someone. but to plan a criminal act requires thinking.. thus you had to have learned it.

Hello there,

Like the poster above me has already mentioned criminal behavior is learned. In learning bad habits most of the time friends play a crucial role. Also television and video games have been responsible for so many criminal behaviors among young people that usually parents are demanding from the manufacturers to stop with developing so violent video games.

Parents must be very careful in raising their child because so many violent content is around us and on the internet and it is hard to control your child 24/7.

I hope that you are not suspecting that your children have problems with this type of behavior.
