The argument that Burt and Simmons makes does make sense, but I believe heritability studies should continue. Just because to researchers believe a certain type of study should be dropped does not mean more heritability studies in the future will not be conducted. There is a great deal of studies since the beginning and not just in criminology but other areas of study that did not lead to success, but lead to a learning experience. These are building blocks to the foundation of future research. We learn from our mistakes, we learn our history in the hopes of not repeating those mistakes. Heritability studies could eventually lead to plausible theory for why people commit crime. I think if researches want to take the time to study something
