A quote from the second Pinker URL in ct's message
(far below):
> Some people, most of them men, are born
> with criminal tendencies.
Now compare this with the writings of the great 19th
century investigator, Cesare Lombroso, Professor
of Criminal Anthropology at the Univerity of Turin:
"Criminal behavior arises from inevitable
tendencies determined by the organic
constitution of the delinquent."
See the following for more of his theories of crime:

For more personal information about our forgotten
heroic savant---author of the widely acclaimed
L'Uomo Delinquente (1876; "Criminal Man")---who
was indeed a pioneer a century ahead of his time,
see
http://www.epub.org.br/cm/n01/frenolog/lombroso.htm
Look into his eyes and tell me you don't see Truth!
