Discuss (a) low self-control

The body's account of the young offender: Lombroso's atavism — the born criminal's stigmata (the founding error AND the method's beginning); The heredity studies — twins and adoptions: the genetic share of aggression-and-impulsivity (modest and interactive, never destiny); The neurological turn — head injury; the impulse disorders; the prefrontal maturation's pace (the modern biology that matters for juveniles: the developmental biology, not the defect biology of Lombroso); The nutrition-and-toxin hypotheses — the environmental-biology frontier; The hormonal adolescence — puberty's activation effects. The verdict (the exam's line): biology supplies dispositions and vulnerabilities, never destinies — and for juveniles the biology is in motion (the maturity gap that most grow out of).
