Even though not conclusive, and obviously a wide and broad study, it gives food for thought for those that like to investigate the human mind.

People who are scared of noises are less likely to do anything remotely scary like crime.

Wow, what a surprise! Those that are less affected by fear as a behavioral motivator are less scared into obedience by the threat of law enforcement. UNPOSSIBLE! --------

Originally by: Brujo Loco investigate the human mind.
For me this is where this study falls flat on its face, people who commit crime do not do so because of their concious thoughts, becoming a criminal is part of social conditioning. People associate criminal behaviour, selfishness and greed as though it is an instinct... it is not! humans like every other living creature on the planet react to their environments, the environment dictates what people will become.
If we lived in a world where there was no need to commit crime, then no one would become a criminal..... simple as that really. Inequality and money are the driving cause behind crime, not human thought or instinct.

All that hocus pocus neuroscience/psychology/behavioral studies crap has been weaponized since the start of the progressive era. That was around the start of the 20th century.
Since then, over 200 million people have been killed - by their own governments. And that war and genocide. That's not including the soft-kill: vaccines, poison in the food like HFSC and MSG, medical practices to milk you for drug money while never curing you, and finally, the things they allow in the environment while just making noise over a few boogey men (like lead paint or Carbon Dioxide a and the latter occurs in nature).
Psychiatry may have started out well, but THEY (progressives, foundations, thinks tanks, governments) turned it into a weapon. Don't trust them.

Nebulous is right though, but that isn't saying much. Crime will always be an issue unless we all collectively decide to go live in the matrix and leave machines to maintain the system.
People aren't equal, they don't start their life from equal positions/opportunities and resources are limited. It would be hard to even cater to the basic needs of everyone equally and impossible to satisfy all their perverted and twisted desires. Not to mention some crimes can be done by accident and the consequenses of some actions are always hard to predict, so anything other then a virtual world would need to struggle with crime.

I call bull. It's a nice thought, but my real life experience says differently. I have seen individuals compulsively steal worthless items when they know they'll be caught and have serious consequences.
I'm not saying ALL criminals are mental, there are crimes of necessity, but to argue that people only steal when they're forced to by their environment is complete and utter bull.

Only judging topic by subject line as it's such rubbish that reading the article would be a waste of time. I suppose those students have to come up with something for their final year tho, so *shrug* -------------

Edited by: Elora Danzik on 17/11/2009 15:30:53 talking with my Brother in-law who is in a Phd program for political science, it really is amazing the garbage that gets publish in "scientific" journals.
He was recently at a conference and this one broad presented her paper. During the discussion, he said they were pointing out huge flaws. Her response was she didn't care what they had to say cause she was already accepted for publication.
so yeah.....
EDIT: After reading this article. They researchers basically said we found something interesting and it needs to be studied further.

That is why I scan the discussion for discussion of limiting factors by the authors. If they are unwilling to even admit that there are factors that they did not include in controls, which they did not realize were limiters after the study began, or that they are countering research, then it is not really going to be worth my time. If a study passes that scrutiny, I then look over the method used in the study to determine if it is worth the time to go over the rest.
EDIT: I also believe that there are people that have inherantly more aggressive personalitites. I also believe that these are observable in childhood. Although, I would have trouble accepting a direct link to increased cirminal rates within that specific population.

Come to think of it..
There was/is a study being/been done by a psychologist on prison inmates. Specificaly on those classified as pschopathic. They are serial killers who generally show little or no remorse for killing their victims.
Through CT or PET scans they determined that consistantly a small gland in the amygdala is smaller than in "normal" people. It does something with processing fear and decision making.
not the link I was looking for but does give some information. Not sure if this could be detected in children under the age of three though. Seems like the brain would still be growing to much to be of any use at that age.

I remeber hearing about those studies a few months or more ago. Pretty interesting stuff.
It would be very difficult to find this out but if the gland suffers from a geneticly stunted growth patern I would guess it would be apparent from the begining. But other hypotheses could be just as valid; say that at some point a gene triggers the gland from growing any more past early adolesence.
Due to the necessity of an extremely large subject population, to hopefully include individuals with said deficit, and the necessity for longitudinal MRI/CT/PET studies, it would be hard to peg this down. I am not sure that the number of individulas that end up with this gland problem, aka potential psychopathic serial killers, really justifies the type of studies required to prove this, but I am sure there are those out there that are looking into it. Until that point they will have to rely on said killers letting their brains be scanned and/or donating them to science post mortem, to support causality.

And next you know, there will be programs to check all kids and stimulate the growth of that certain region to ensure everybody is properly afraid at all times.
For the safety of society and the betterment of all humankind, of course. --------
