86. Born Criminal: Is Violence Genetic?
Are some people genetically predisposed to violence? What impact do our genes and families have on our own criminal behaviour?
The only murderer in the family? When serial killer Robert Spahalski admitted to murder in 2005, police not only discovered his decades long criminal past but also a fascinating family history that raises the possibility of a genetic tendency towards violence.
Dr Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen investigate the age-old concept of 鈥渂ad families鈥� and ask whether criminal behaviour is passed down through generations. And if so, is it through genes, our environment or our experiences?
