Criminal behavior has been learned since the beginning of time so trust that it is a big cycle of learning from one ancestry to another to the present day. Although, not all criminal behavior is learned. In fact, some criminal behavior is caused by other factors including the labeling theory which states that one commits crimes simply due to them already being label as a criminal, so they conform to the beliefs and start to act out.
