We are born with a blank slate. I will go “textbook” psychology, and support the nurture vs nature argument, and say they just go hand in hand. We are molded by our environment, and we learn what is “morally” right by the way we are nurtured. We have learned about all these disorders that factor in if a child comes a neglectful family we run into he could be anal-regressive, and even the father of Psychology Freud constantly goes back to looking at their childhood. After saying all that I would have to say yes that people who commit crimes have symptomatic psychopathology. A person who learns it is wrong to commit crime, and show them what repercussions are then we do not run into crimes being committed.

Like I said in my post that each crime needs to be treated on a per crime bases, and not just a straight across “if you did this, then you must face said punishment”.

Katie I do agree with you that criminal behavior is a factor of both biological and social factors. We feel the need that to find something wrong with an individual that committed a crime because having a “normal” person just come out and commit a crime makes that “normal” factor seem to real. The normal is no longer normal. We associate someone to be like us, and when they jeopardized we look for a reason to say they were not actually normal to keep us separate from that in which committed a crime.
I agree with you that with each crime comes a different way to handle it, but again very in favor of both forms to handle the crime.
