Research have shown someone's childhood cannot be blamed for their criminal behaviour anymore. Yes, It's a lovely scapegoat but Scientists have done tests and taken persons with a similar childhood upbringing as test subjects. It was found that, even though testsubject had a similar upbringing with similar circumstances, one person is more likely to become a criminal (serial killer/rapist)and another a upstanding citizen. So who is the criminals going to blame now?

Well people in their childhood are usually not aware of what is right and what is wrong! They wont think twice, as we do before commiting something henious!

Yes, point taken. But I am specificly talking about adult criminals who blame their unhappy childhood after commiting a crime.
