It's interesting that the study still suggests that good parenting is integral.

I can see it now. The "I have 1 of 3 crime genes" defense.

Thanks for the info, txsvicki!

I am not to blame, it is all genetics, environment and those pesky parents did not sit down to dinner with me, so I am blameless.

I can see it now.........

Exactly what I was thinking. Soon, nobody will be held accountable for their actions.
