December 2023. Available at: Based on scientific literature and newspaper
article above, answer the following questions: SECTION A QUESTION 1 1.
Provide a detailed discussion on the criminal behaviour patterns of twins. (10)
The criminal behavior patterns of twins have been a subject of interest for
researchers and psychologists, but it's important to note that such behavior
is not determined solely by the fact that individuals are twins. While there
have been cases where twins have been involved in criminal activities
together or separately, it's crucial to approach the topic with caution and
avoid generalizations.
1. Genetic Factors: Twin studies have suggested that genetics play a role in
criminal behavior. Identical twins, who share 100% of their genes, may
exhibit similar criminal tendencies more often than fraternal twins, who
share only about 50% of their genes. This indicates a genetic influence on
criminal behavior.
2. Environmental Factors: Despite sharing genetic similarities, twins may
experience different environments, which can significantly impact their
behavior. Environmental factors such as upbringing, socioeconomic status,
peer influences, and exposure to violence or trauma can contribute to
criminal behavior in twins.
3. Shared Experiences: Twins often share unique bonds and experiences that
can influence their behavior. This closeness may result in a higher likelihood
of engaging in criminal activities together or covering up for each other.
