I personally think it's a bit of both also, I do actually believe that some people are born with an evil seed in them (I know that sounds like a cliche but it's the only way I can explain it lol) and then if they are brought into a certain environment where there is no parental discipline and strict guidelines, the seed grows and grows until they begin to act on it. But on the other hand, perfectly 'normal' well adjusted seeming children can fall into the wrong crowd, have parents that give them no guidance or are bad role models, and they can end up turning into monsters, hence why I said the argument for both sides is inconclusive. But you do get cases where a child has a loving family, no childhood trauma, does well in school, and then goes on to commit hideous crimes, this is why it's so hard to pinpoint where it all starts and what the solution is.
