Are criminals BORN or MADE ?

Me , marvellous_tree and persistent_acorn discussed about if criminals are born or made and we came up with that a bad surrounding can cause children born in that bad surrounding be born a criminal e.g. the place that the child lives/grows up in can be surrounded by gangs which could possibly had an effect on the child making the child have bad behaviour which later on could become from bad language to a crime of some sort !
Persistent_acorn has an opinion that criminals are rather made than born because children and teanagers are vulnerable because they have no idea of what gangs do once they have got a child or a teanager to their gang so if they want to earn money quickly they would sometimes be convinced by a friend of theirs or an unknown stranger to join their gang for money .
What do you think ?What are your opinions about criminals , are they born or made?

I think crinmals are made and born
I agree, you can't really be born evil - it may have been that their nature or they were trained to do it. I don't completely agree with made either as you could have done say in what you want to do even when you're older. However, when a someone in a gang is born, it may be you become a criminal because your parents are. I guess this would mean your made...

Crimanals are made because they get influenced by their friends.
They might not just be influenced by their friends or family, they can also be influenced by strangers out on the streets.
Me too , I think criminals are made because you can get influenced by people in gangs or EVEN in your family maybe because they'd been one before . :)
Yes that is true you might see people and want to be like them

Criminals are definitely made because if they were born they would of had to of been bad since they were a child, criminals made.

Criminals are made, maybe by influence or threat. A baby can not just walk out of a hospital after being born and steal a purse. They can't be born, only made. They might be influenced by their friends or their parents are criminals and can't let their parents handle what they are doing on there own.
Yes that is true. But some people are born as a bad person and grow up to be a criminal.

I think that criminals are made, because they might have took drugs that makes them unaware that they are committing a crime.

I think that it could be both in a way , you could be born in to it by lurning for parents or just making some bad decisions in life ,but usually it’s because of the environment people choose bad habits or decisions such a murder or stealing people can be influenced by gangs or bad people

This is very interesting!
I think both actually since this affects the way you were raised if you were born as one and what were your surroundings and did your parents or family were one as well or did they care about what you were doing.If you were made one you probably got influenced by close friends or family since this mostly happens to teens.They probably got lured into this by something.
