Excellent recitation of an age old problem. Some of us sociological thinkers feel the following. Socialization theory, does not account for, criminal intent that is tied to primary socialization and aggressive behavior. We do not account for the fact that culture and the way we are raised, is due to parental perceptions and attitudes, from those parents who were socialized by their parents. American psychiatrists and psychologists, no nothing about the social evolution of a person’s predisposition to violence. Just a thought.
