text: are there any theorist that still believe in biological factors in crime or is.....? this a lost belief? to me it seems that in todays world, there could be no scientific proof that there exists biological determinism in anti-social or delinquent acts. thoughts? actually, i think there is a biological factor.  for example, when i watch the news, child molesters look a certain way, and as we know looks are decided by genes (i also think personalities are partially gene affected).  certain looks are really the only common factor among these tiny balled freaks, so that leads me to think of a possibility of small biological factor.  however, this is no excuse for their actions.  everybody gets evil ideas, and most of us can easily override them and forget them in the same instant that they were conceived.  how they were raised and where they were raised also play major factors.  now im not a psychologist or a gene specialist.  in fact, im not even out of high school, so i could very well be wrong.
