Question:

A strength of the genetic and neural explantion?

Author: (Pippa) Pippa Holloway



Answer:

-Mixed research evidence from Mednick et al's resarch into 13,000 Danish approahces -Analysis of criminal behaviour showed that when both the child's adopted and biological apretns have criminal convitions, 24.5% of the adopted children did too. -Only 20% when just their biological parents had covictions and 13% when neither their adopted or biological parents had committed crimes -This supports the diathesis-stress model, as it is clear there is a predisposition to crime as well the environment which the child is surrounded in.
