lack morals and not just because of the environment they live in, according to a new study.
Cambridge University studied around 700 young people in Peterborough for over a decade and discovered that most adolescent crime is not just youthful opportunism.
In fact, while it is agreed that urban environments trigger some young people to commit crime, it is their morality which is the biggest factor.
Other teenagers remain highly resistant to committing crime - regardless of the circumstances.
