What if policemenCriminal mindscould predict who was going to commit a crime like doctors can predict who is prone to certain Criminal minds dvddiseases through DNA?

For one, crime rates would decrease but even more, lives could be saved.

For UCI Professor of Criminology, Law andCriminal minds seasons dvd Society Simon Cole, not only is this too good to be true, but “It’s never worked in the past,” he said during a lecture at the University ofCriminal minds dvd season Florida on identity-tracking technology according to the Independent Alligator Journal.

During the 17th and 18th centuries,Criminal minds series dvd Cole says that several scientists and legal thinkers became increasingly interested in the cause of criminal behavior and began to look for answers in the human body.

This led to the study of phrenology, which in turn led to the study of eugenics in the early 20th century andCriminal minds dvd collection incorporated the practice of selective breeding in order to improve the human race.

“Although, the idea was a well-intentioned impulse to improve the human race,” Cole said, “it got out of control andCriminal minds dvd set forced sterilizations were taking place to mostly prisoners and poor people.”

The practice of eugenics is not new in the United States. In the 1927 U.S Supreme Court Case Buck vs. Bell, Carrie Buck from Virginia was taken by authorities at the age of three from her Criminal minds tv series box setwidowed mother, Emma Buck, because her mother was involved with prostitution.

A foster family, the Dobbs, took in Carrie and at the age of 17. Soon after, Carrie found herself pregnant. She claimed to have been raped by one of the Dobbs’ sons.

The Dobbs family asked their familyCriminal minds DVD box set doctor to admit her into a mental asylum. Following her admission, she was scheduled to undergo surgery for sterilization on the account that she was diagnosed as “feebleminded.”

Carrie Buck’s case essentially challenged Criminal mindsthe state-law of Virginia concerning state-enforced sterilizations.

It was then presented to the U.S Supreme Criminal minds dvdcourt and resulted in an 8-1 majority ruling that Virginia’s state law to enforce sterilization was constitutional.

That same year Carrie BuckCriminal minds seasons dvd underwent operation for sterilization.
