If the foetus gets all the nutrients it needs the brain develops properly. “We know that smoking while pregnant makes your child two to three times more likely to offend in later life because carbon monoxide reduces oxygen flow to the brain. "Poor nutrition, smoking and drinking can all have an effect on how the pre-frontal cortex develops in the womb. “Genetics, of course, play the main role in brain functioning but what pregnant mothers do also has a huge impact on their unborn child. “The reason being that being brought up in a bad environment, where there is abuse or neglect and poor nutrition does not give the brain a chance to develop and change. The idea is, if you lack fear, you find it easier to rob a store, burgle a house or even kill.” “They don't have the fear that holds the rest of us back. “But there are some whose rate remains more or less the same and research has shown they are more likely to offend in later life. If a child is in a laboratory being hooked up to electrodes, having strange experiments carried out on them, you would expect them to be stressed and their heart rate rise. “We believe low resting heart rates reflect a lack of fear. The average is about 75 beats per minute. He said: “It's been shown that violent offenders typically have lower resting heart rates.

His team has scanned the brains of serial killers including Randy Kraft, know as the Freeway Killer, who raped, tortured and mutilated as many as 67 young men.ĭr Raine, 59, claims science can now predict which children are at risk of becoming the criminals of the future by scanning their brains for low functioning in the pre-frontal cortexīut there is also a second indicator – the resting heart rate. In 1981 Sutcliffe was convicted of murdering 13 women and attempting to murder seven others.ĭr Raine, originally from Darlington, County Durham, is a pioneer of neurological research on criminals at Pennyslvania University. “If we could control these parts of the brain – or change them – we could in effect end crime.” “If you looked at the brains of every killer in Britain you would find some sort of damage, that's what our research bears out. “Research has shown that this can lead to damage in another area of the brain called the hippocampus, which also regulates aggression.
He said: “Sutcliffe was five days premature and starved of oxygen at birth.
