If research could show that the tendency to commit crime is inherited, what should be done with young children of violent prone criminals?

According to the research, it is found that children are being involved in violence through inheritance. If the family of the child is under poverty, obviously the parents of the child will teach him/her to steal and involve itself in violence.
If the family is a gang of gangsters, then the child will also be brought up as a gangster. If the child is left in a school and allowed to study, it may learn good habits and teach it to his/her family.
