Not news at all: parenting is important

Three genes have been identified which serve, apparently, as markers for criminal tendencies later on in life. The links between these genes and delinquency are, apparently, “very specific.”

But here’s what’s cool: proper, involved parenting mitigates the expression of these genes in most cases. Regular family meals were found to be particularly effective in this regard.

As someone who flirts with (from a Catholic perspective, specifically) from time to time, this sort of thing makes perfect sense to me — indeed, it was to be expected. Would that our society made it really possible for families to live out this ideal.
