Abstract
Why do some people choose to break the law while others, in similar circumstances, do not? The answer may lie deep within the human brain. Emerging research suggests that specific brain abnormalities neurologically wire certain individuals to engage in criminal behavior, increasing the likelihood of impulsive and violent actions. Understanding the science behind this dark side of human nature reveals that biological factors play a role in influencing criminal tendencies. Nevertheless, how much of our behavior is dictated by the brain, and what implications does this have for the justice system and rehabilitation of known criminals? The answers to these questions could reshape our approach to crime and punishment.
