Does Crime Run In Families?

Sometimes people try not to judge a family just because some of its members have a long history of engaging in criminal activity. Sometimes, however, we do judge one family members' criminal activity as a gauge into the prospect of whether or not their younger siblings or children will follow their lead.

It should also be noted that large crime families have a tendency to support and keep quiet about their family members criminal activities. This makes it very difficult for the police when they are investigating crime and suspect that a criminal's family member can provide the needed information.
