I don't think anyone in their right mind would argue that there is no crime in the country . . . of course there is . . . but to trace it back to genetics is simply ridiculous, though if KSL posts at 2am in this timezone one wonders the state of inebriation he was in.
Utopia, I don't know what country you are from, nor does it matter for this discussion, but do you find it slightly disingenuous to cite examples and then build a case study out of it?
Here's a good statistic which shows that Australia and Denmark are not that different in the incidence of murders:
Murders per capita: Australia ranked 43 and Denmark 53 number one spot: Colombia
Does this mean that there is a genetic connection between Denmark's history and this statistic today? According to you: Must be.
Are Danes not concerned about crime in their country? According to you: Nope.
I've been to Denmark many times while working out of Holland and France for over five years. Lovely people, lovely place in general . . . and I would be a prat if I were to try and make blatantly ridiculous statements for whatever purpose to disparage the place/
I don't think you are altogether off tangent, though to ignore a genetic connection is really a little naive because you are basically denying the fact races want to survive and they will do anything to protect that right.
I agree that we should be civilised enough to recognise the signals of right and wrong and most people do, again it is the weighing up the benefits against the punishment when it comes to crime.
The genetics DNA of humans is effected by triggers of social policies, crime is in all of us, weather you like the thought or not, murder is in all of us, too, if the right buttons are pressed. Why do you think some doctors deliberately kill their patients, why do you think some expert academic in psychiatry studies psychiatry, and why others choose the paths they do...why the Roman catholic church protects their own sexual abusers....all these hideous crimes are triggered by outside effects, could be pollution could be social policies, like taking kids away from their parents, just because some nutter of an academic has written a dozen books on the subject and now has the power to practise his wishes.
There are just to many variables that trigger the DNA to lay down the facts, though scientists are working on it.
Though I will agree with you and say their is no real hard evidence yet in humans, it is a theory and I'm sure their are thousands that will agree with it, and those that are outrageously against the idea, they appear to be the ones with blinkers on
No offence

Just check for the spelling mistakes
My theory is based on animals that have been domesticated over a very long time, I don't see humans any different at all, they remain unpredictable when the right buttons are pressed some like the polecat can be very temperamental and a Chimpanzee can take your arm off with a machete.
Why do people hack others with a machete on one side of the world and on the other they stand and fight like gentlemen to settle an argument, others will not lower themselves to that level of uncivilised behaviour, though if attacked anything can happen.
) to the local gene pool. Especially that likely only a fraction of crimes are committed by people with genetic predispositions (if any present at all).
