week 3 critical thinking exercise

At the conclusion of the Bartols’ Chapter 3, the authors state: “While biopsychology and neurophysiological factors may play some role in the formation of criminal behavior — specifically by affecting brain development — it is far more likely that violent and non-violent antisocial behavior develops as a result of a series of complicated interactions with significant others in the social environment.”

In a 2-3 page essay explain what the authors mean by this statement, especially the phrase “more likely that violent and non-violent antisocial behavior develops as a result of a series of complicated interactions with significant others in the social environment.” If this is the case, what are the implications for the prevention of violent and non-violent antisocial behavior? In your essay provide depth, clarity, precision, logic, and significance in your response. Offer examples whenever possible. Insure your essay has an introduction, body, and conclusion.

The primary reference for the essays will be your assigned textbooks.
