Given the disproportionate incarceration rates of certain ethnic groups, is there any scientific proof that people from these groups are genetically predisposed to commit crime?

There is currently no scientific proof that people from certain ethnic groups are genetically predisposed to commit crime. Any correlations between crime and ethnicity may be influenced by economic disadvantage, lack of access to education, and other social factors. Additionally, research has found that cultural factors such as childhood training and peer pressure can influence one’s likelihood of committing a crime regardless of their background.

No, there is no scientific proof that people from certain ethnic groups are genetically predisposed to commit crime. Though research into the genetics of criminal behavior has shown possible associations between specific gene variations and recidivism, these findings are limited and not comprehensive enough to draw any conclusions about ethnicity.
