What is the Gene × Environment interaction?

What will be an ideal response?


Ans: The Gene × Environment interactions suggest that some people may have genes that make them vulnerable to criminal behavior (and thus victimization). When the environment in which that person lives, works, spends time, and supports and/or encourages criminal behavior, there may be a higher likelihood that the person will engage in criminal behavior and thus put himself or herself at risk for victimization.
