Hawaii

Crime, something that seems to be inevitable, happens all over the world at any time of the day. Crime is an action or omission that constitutes an offense that may be prosecuted by the state and is punishable by law. Crime rates soar at times and reach outrageous numbers. However, what if crime was inherited? If some type of research was done, and it scientifically proved that crime is inherited, what could we do/say about our children of violent criminals?
