Criminals are born, not made... comment.

basically, i think that criminals are made, not born..

this is because, most of the time, people commit crime because they are influenced by the environment. these external factors may be the family upbringing, friends, media, etc. they may influence people into doing somethng bad. for example, a child who is constantly being abused by his parent may grow up to become violent and may also hurt others like what his parent did to him. hanging out with the wrong friends may cause a person to go astray. all these factors make a person into commiting crimes and thus, crimnals are made.

some may argue that a person commits crime because he is born so. for example, a person has a gene in him that cause him to be borned violent. however, this only means that this person has the potential to become a criminals. it does not guarantee that he will become a criminal. a large factor that finally make him into one will be the environment he lives in. if he grew up in a place that is full of joy and laughter, he wouldn't want to ruin his wonderful life and become a criminal.
