Criminality is certainly linked to factors which may be outside the criminal's control. The straight path may be much harder for some than it is for those who were lucky enough to have a good upbringing free of major trauma. Brain damage is also a factor in some criminals. However, one has to be practical. If someone is a major risk to others there is no choice but to lock them up.
