OPEN WOUNDS

The interplay between genetics and environmental factors in shaping violent behavior is a significant focus in the study of criminology. Adrian Raine discusses a specific gene linked to the production of a hormone that influences impulse control, suggesting individuals lacking this gene may have a predisposition to violence.

Dr. Cesare Lombroso, who has been called "the father" of modern criminology, studied criminals imprisoned in Turin back in 1870. He was convinced of the criminals, they were a step below in evolution, a regression to a type of primitive or subhuman man. After years of study, he concluded that a murderer could be identified by the shape of his face and by the excessive length of his "simian" arms. "The ears of a criminal," he wrote, "are often oversized." "The nose is frequently turned up or flattened in thieves. In murderers it is usually aquiline like the beak of a bird of prey."

There is a gene for violence. This is confirmed by the American researcher Adrian Raine, an entire institution in the study of psychopathies. In one of his books Anatomy of violence (Anatomy of violence, 2014) he talks about a gene responsible for the production of a hormone, which regulates the neurotransmitters involved in impulse control. Individuals lacking this gene would have a predisposition to violence, although that does not mean that they become future murderers, warns Raine, which leads us to think that it is our lifestyle, the way we educate, the norms of societies increasingly dehumanized which can provide the minimum conditions for human beings to kill.

Criminologist Alberto Pintado believes that "serial killers are not born", but rather "are made" under the social and family conditions that surround them during childhood, a fundamental stage for personality development.
