link between crimes and antisocial behavior. This is seen through genetics, which correlate to the brain and finally turn to antisocial behavior. According to Adrian Raine, genes play a significant role in structural and functional alterations. Evidence has shown that 50% of antisocial behavior are connected to genetic influences. (Moffitt, 2005), cited in, Raine (2008). One of the genes that influence antisocial behavior is the monoamine oxidases A (MAOA) gene. In a study, researchers found that
Government Rehabilitation vs. Incarceration In deterrence of crime, the criminal justice system has devised a system which focuses into stopping crime. In most cases, offenders are subjected to sentencing and consequent punishment which in most cases takes the form of incarceration.

Partridge (1930) observed that the concepts of psychopathic personality were widely scattered in psychiatric and criminal works. Differentiated psychopathy from antisocial behavior and noted that there is considerable personality deviation which is not expressed through antisocial behavior. "Sociopath" used to emphasize that the person was out of step with society rather than
respecting others and were very well behaved children. Evidence is starting to show that children who are or were spanked act out or show more physical aggression toward others. In Elizabeth Gershoff’s book, Beating the Devil Out of Them, she did a study on physical aggression in kindergarten children. She interviewed the children’s mothers about how much corporal punishment they had used prior to doing an observation on how much aggression each child showed.

The amount of people against spanking their children is surprising compared to the number of people who do use corporal punishment. Studies have shown that approximately 80% of parents use physical discipline such as spanking on their children (UNICEF, 2014). The various reasons for supporting or opposing the use of spanking are what this essay is explaining. Data is connected to each

Additional treatments rooted in family systems, such as parent management training (PMT), marital therapy, and problem solving skills training (PSST), are utilized as means of addressing the social ecological context in which externalizing behaviors occur (Kazdin,
