Culture's Influence on Criminal Behavior

Hypotheses

If culture is the determinant of criminal behavior like murder, at least, one of these would be true:

1. Christian kids who migrate to the United-States most violent cities, like, Chicago, start to commit crime at a much high rate. I think it is important to take heed of religious kids who suddenly starts to behave in criminal activities by being in a violent surrounding because, it will allow me to conclude that it is the culture that turns them violent, obviously.

2. Teenagers who come from affluent families and spend countless times watching violent scenes in television, commit murder at a higher rate as low income teenagers. The reason why I make affluent kids the group study in my research, and not otherwise expected, is because it will give me a better understanding of the impact of violent scenes on children 's behavior directly. When kids come from a family that can satisfy their needs, it gives them less incentives to commit a crime. Poor kids may engage in criminal activities that may led the researcher to infer that it is because of excessive contact with violent scenes in TV, but it may otherwise be because these kids parents can support them financially, therefore,

In the process of trying to respond to the question posed in my research, it is vital that I take into consideration these two forces that profoundly influence human tendencies: nature and nurture. Clearly, I think cultures have an impact on human behavior. But, I -- in my research -- just want to figure out to what extent do cultures dominate our behavior. If my research is successful, then as an society we will need to discuss the kinds of culture that we impose on our children, and the repercussion of these cultures. And, most importantly, we can start having conversations on how this culture can be the determinant of criminal behavior in
