Introduction: What constitutes our genetic structure is the initial bed for growth, but since the first sperm of a human is formed in the mother's womb, and according to some hadiths and narrations, even the grounds for the formation of male sex cells in the body of the father and The egg is formed in the mother's body, the first signs of the baby's personality formation. Recent discoveries in the field of
biology and genetics have led to the recognition of the genetic origin of many physiological functions as well as physical and mental disorders. Today, there is no doubt that many diseases are inherited and are passed on from parents or previous generations to their children.Similarly, a number of mental disorders have a genetic origin, which research has identified and named the relevant gene, such as schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, borderline personality disorder, anti-social, anger management and Tourette syndrome.

Results: Many people are disgusted by the idea that "genes influence behavior" because they believe that "genes determine fate." This common misinterpretation is often expressed emphatically by people who do not know enough about how genes work. They think of genes as the original "puppeteers," while the actual role of genes is something else. They are the chemical structure that is responsible for producing proteins or regulating the activity of other genes. The fact is that genes influence human behavior in indirect and complex ways that require the acquisition of inputs from the physiology of the body, the environment, society, and culture.
Conclusion: Behavioral genetics, which studies the relationship between genes and behavior, has opened a new window for jurists. Due to the increasing growth of behavioral genetics, the serious task of judging on this basis is becoming more and more complex. Considering that criminal policymakers value punishment when it has an effect on its execution. So in special cases, people who have been genetically abused as not having the free will to commit a crime should be reduced or even exempted from punishment.
