The Making of a Criminal: Nature, Nurture, or Neurology? | Ruha Lee | TEDxHAFS Youth
TEDx Talks· 2025-10-29 15:41
Core Argument - The presentation explores the complexities of criminal behavior, arguing that it stems from a combination of biological predispositions ("nature") and environmental factors ("nurture") [10][15] - It emphasizes that while understanding the causes of crime is important, it should never excuse the actions or overshadow the victims' experiences [24][26] - The presentation advocates for a balanced approach to justice that considers both accountability for offenders and compassion for victims [27] Factors Contributing to Criminal Behavior - Biological factors, such as the structure and function of the brain (amygdala, prefrontal cortex) and neurotransmitter imbalances (serotonin), can predispose individuals to criminal behavior [12][13][14] - Environmental factors, such as childhood trauma, neglect, and lack of love, can significantly shape an individual's development and increase the likelihood of criminal behavior [16][17][18] Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and Crime - DID is a mental condition characterized by two or more distinct identities [7] - Research indicates that DID is primarily a trauma-based condition and is not statistically correlated with higher crime rates compared to the general population [9] - The presentation uses the case of William Stanley Milligan to illustrate the complexities of DID and its potential (though rare) connection to criminal behavior [5][6] Justice Systems and Approaches - Different countries have varying approaches to justice, ranging from rehabilitation (Norway, Sweden) to strict punishment (US) [20][21] - Some countries, like Germany, blend offender reform and victim acknowledgement, while others, like Japan, focus on remorse and confession [21] - Singapore emphasizes deterrence through strict penalties [22] The Importance of Victim-Centered Justice - The presentation criticizes instances where the focus shifts to the offender's potential loss or reputation, neglecting the trauma experienced by the victim [25] - It argues that true justice requires holding both the complexity of individuals and the consequences of their actions in balance [27] - The presentation highlights cases like Brock Turner, the Central Park 5, and Larry Nassar to illustrate the dangers of a justice system that prioritizes the offender over the victim [25][26]
