>>81538702>>disproportionately enormous quantity of black and hispanic people commit crimes>>therefore black and hispanic criminals represent their communitiesAre you retarded? An overwhelming majority of most races don't commit crimes either.
You are disregarding the sample size of crimes. Most people don't commit crimes, period.
>>81538828>Do you not believe that genetics might influence...Correlation does not mean causation.
And if you really want to be scientific about it, there's a recognized hereditary component of personality. But literally every psychologist also recognizes the role that the environment plays in the development of that personality. Furthermore, there's no particular gene or personality trait that is known to be responsible for crime.
Disagreeableness is related to antisocial behavior if it's not well socialized, so is neuroticism. But none of them are solely responsible for a tendency to commit crime and, given that the majority of people don't actually commit violent crime, it's a retarded hypothesis, as the importance of environment is clear.
>it's poverty!!No. That is retarded, we agree on that. It's relative poverty + antisocial tendencies + lack of proper socialization + cultural context + other things.
Do genes play a part? Certainly, it would be interesting to do an analysis of chuldren of criminals that are raised by non-criminals. Given that, if you pair those genetics with an enviroment that promotes crime (as it would be bejng raised by a criminal) it will obviously lead to those traits being emphasized.
But, overall, the argument is bad because it's still a minority, in all cases.
>illegalsI believe that there must be a correlation between the willingness to break 1 rule (entering a country illegally) and breaking other rules. Which would explain why illegals commit more crimes, repeated offenders and such.
I still hate niggers.
