Influence of Brain Function and Genes Changing our Perceptions about Punishment and Crime
Genes influence the brain. It brings changes in the brain, which leads to the change in the behavior of the person. Similarly, functioning of the brain affects the way we think about the crime and punishment (Vimeo, 2016). Childhood trauma and stress act as culprit, which affect the neural development and affect the decision-making ability of the person. Brain controls all the human behavior whether the use of harmful chemical to influence the neural circuit or to live in a solitary confinement. As suggested by Jorgensen, Anderson and Barnes (2016), lack of emotional traits in people instigates them towards the crime. Recent studies have shown that there is difference between the brain of a psychopath and a normal person. Lack of genes, which help people to connect with world, are more responsible for developing severe criminal tendencies in person.
