1010 CCJ: Nature vs. Nurture and the Likelihood of Offending

This essay delves into the intricate nature versus nurture debate, examining its influence on the likelihood of future offending. It begins by defining and discussing both nature and nurture, outlining key variables from both perspectives, such as genetic predispositions and environmental factors. The essay then provides evidence, potentially including quantitative data, illustrating the relationship between these variables and later offending behaviors. Finally, it constructs an argument, weighing the relative importance of nature, nurture, or a combination of both, in shaping an individual's propensity for criminal activity. The analysis considers the interplay of genetic factors, family influences, and environmental impacts on personality development and behavioral tendencies, concluding with a reasoned assessment of the most significant determinants of future offending.

INTRODUCTION
The nature and the nurture is being one of the most debatable issue as they both outlines
the human behaviour that complies to work in all the accord and was through which a person can
there by being observed(Bauer, and Widrow, 2019). The nature of the person depends upon the
genetic and the behavioural aspect of all the person who were being involved in various means
and methods. The main element of nature is family as the person opts various habits from the
family and in Nurture it basically involves the behavioural aspect of all the person that they can
at any time adapt a habit through the environment. In this report there will be a brief analysis in
the Nature v. Nurture and also its various variables and impacts of that variables in the society
and on the behaviour of person.
MAIN BODY
Define and discuss nature versus nurture
Nature is the behaviour of the person that is being adopted by them through there genetic
growth and the families that has been related to them. This covers all the genetic factors that use
to come in the person through their parents. As when a person grows there implies certain
features and ways which make them to work in a certain mannered and pattern and that use to
comply in that person through their methods of thinking which comes out from there parents.
When there are certain fundamental changes and the adaptability which come in a person in
order through all the parents genes,(Burghardt, and Bowers, 2017). In a human when a child is
being born their appearance their acting and even their dispositions all use to be dependent on the
parents. Basically it provides the way in which a person or a child carries certain habits by birth
and by their genes that implies all the metamorphic ally genetic area of working. Such behaving
of a child in their early age when no one has teaches them the area and the way through which
they tries to work can be considered in Nature of that person. All the human development
through the genes and the heredity makes that person to adapt certain habits implied in the
nature of a person.
Nurture is on the other hand a way learning by a person in all the other outside
environment and their working. It complies that when a person learns from the outside world and
the environment t in which they are living that will be considered as nurture. Their are certain

things in the person that can be changed in order to make and reframe any persons personality
their has to be made various methods and adaptability which helps to gain out the habit. In the
persons life all the upbringing plays a very important role and for that the person tries to impose
various habits which can be changed and can be made in all the various ways and adaptability.
Through nurture a person can get certain habits through any person living ion that same areas or
by the help of persons who are being considered to stay in the surrounding. Environment of a
person plays an important role in Nurture as any person adapts certain habits which can be
changed and be made as in when needed.
Thus, both have a major impact on the growth and the personality of a person. Their all
the person tends to grow in various manner and they have to develop the impact which is being
used by them for the accords.(Croteau, 2019). Both are psychologically create a same impact on
the person as it helps to develop the personality and the growth of the individual. But has various
differences in their area of working.
Outline some key nature and nurture variables and discuss how they influence later offending
When there is being outlined the nature and nurture both are been connected with certain
variables that are important for the adaptability of the person and its accordance. Their has been
made certain developmental relationship with the innateness as the behaviour of the person
depend on the environment and also on the behaviour of the person.
The main key feature in order to make the variables their has been mentioned that certain
Genes has been made in an developing of the key nature of the person. As in like the person
cannot make any specific changes in their body, colour or any other areas which they gain
genetically but in the context of Environment all the nature is being calculate in a proper manner
that the individual use to analyse various factors and work according to it.
In Diathesis stress model it tries to explain about the vulnerability and the changes that
has been noticed in the working life of a powers on that develops the change in the environment
and the nature of a person. This conducts certain stress response that has been seen in the
individual in all of their working and making.
There has been observed that all the psychology considers of various approaches that are
being important for the working and also covers the approaches that are being important for the
development and for the variables of the nature and nurture. It complies the Psychoanalysis this
covers the social upbringing of the person in the childhood and implies the nurturing. Cognitive

Psychology this implies the mental structures and the perception that has been led by a person in
order with the constantly change in the environment and Behaviourism which being adapted by
the interaction by the people and there tendency to grow in certain areas and worth the people
who were being able to develop the eradicable mindset of an individual.
Though the key nature and the Nurture variables also includes various other methods and
the physical adaptability of the person in all way that is being important.(Demetriou, 2018).As
the human have the tendency to work in all the various course of manner that they implies to
grow with the psychological approach and that makes them to adapt certain features and the
nature of the person.
This somehow affects the person in their growth as it generally can take the person in
wrong direction as it complies that all the person have various methods to grow and when they
get the negative environment in their surroundings then that automatically creates a huge impact
von that person and also on the clarity of mind.
All the genetic and the behavioural approach of the person implies to make all the
changes in the working environment and that creates to develop the tendency of the human to
work the way they see the environment.
Provide evidence showing the relationship between selected variables and later offending
The person has variably difference in their nature, growth, behaviour, intelligence and
personalties as every person covers different pattern of behaviour and through which no person
can be counted as same. Their has been made certain areas of mentality that Nature versus
Nurture is the most ongoing debate and there is slight difference in the behaviour of the person
and also in the areas through which they can at any time behave in the society(Galanos, 2018).
Nature on the one hand has to seen to be given to an individual and on the other hand Nurture is
being developed in an individual through learning. So all the person have their way of behaving
patterns. There is a slight difference in both and somehow they are inter related with each other.
The major relationship is being seen by the various habits and the areas of the working of
individual.
High blood pressure this covers an area of relation in both Nature and Nurture that on
one hand their has been seen that mostly people use to develop this disease from the family chain
and they use to gain such problems in their genes and that make them to suffer from such issue

from early age, but on the other hand their Nurture proponents that all these problems can also be
arose from various wrong eating habits or adapting wrong life styles.
Homosexuality, it covers the areas that most of the time this has been adapted b y the
genes as many of the person have certain genes which covers the areas in which they make it to
behave in this manner. But on the other hand this can also be generated by the physical
environment or their choice of selection with the environmental factors.
Personality, this covers the most important element in which a person can develop their
image and the personality by the influence of their parents as most of the child being connected
to mother so they use to have certain kind of habits that covers their parents(Gargiulo, and
Crespo, 2021). In the main context their can also be seen that all the individual and their
working can also be changed wherein they see the outside world and go to learn that makes them
to adapt various nature changes and the changes that are being generated by the persons usual
nature and their learning ability.
This can also been seen and observed that all the person have variably different thinking
ability and nature and all the variables are connected with certain implications that they have
methods through which it can be observed that all the implications are interconnected and there
is no major difference in all the means and area.
Make an argument regarding which is most important (nature, nurture, or a combination of both)
to future offending
Through this report this has been clear that both the nature and the nurture are equally
being important in the growth of individual. But by analysing this has also been clear that all the
elements that are being made by the people for their growth are equally important (Omoregie,
2017). Where Nature covers that the person is being adaption various area of interest and on the
other hand Nurture covers the important aspect in which they implies top develop certain habits
from the surroundings.
They both are carrying same importance in the life of individual as even they carries the
same linkage in one way or the other but when it comes to Nature versus Nurture, both of them
carries same importance. As one use to carry the genetic development and the personality
development of the person through there parents and genes and the qualities are been grasp from
the persons and the other covers various methods through which the person built their personality
like by experience and learning. As their covers that both are equally carrying same importance

in the peoples life as one has an impact through which they tries to maintain their image in the
society and one is the behavioural approach that all the person can get various nature and make it
usual course(Hambrick, and et. al., 2017).
While observing the scenarios their has been clear that all the individuals use to have
both the nature of working and behaviours, as in the varies age there are some adaptability that
are being made by the upbringing of the individual and the rest ids being modified and skilled
through the changes that has been made in the requirements or through the experience of the
person. The knowledge is being gained by all the members with usual approach of working.
CONCLUSION
From this above report it is concluded that, Nature versus Nurture plays an important role
in the behaviour of a person and its changes and adaptability. Their is being considered that all
the human have the tendency to grow and adapt different thinking and living style and that
makes them, to built a variably different adaptability. It id also seen that Nurture and nature has
almost same ways and areas but their is slight difference in all of them that one use to come from
the genes and the other use to comply with the experience and the habits of others that can be
observed. Furthermore it is analysed that both of them covers the same variables but with
different perspective and approach.
