Adoption studies have also shown that if a child’s biological parents and their adoptive parents are both violent, 40% will be criminal compared to 12.1% if only the genetic factor were present, 6.7% if just a violent environment, and only 2.1% will be criminal if they have none of the above risk factors.

In a study of more than 60 serial murderers, it was found that psychological and/or physical abuse was a pervasive characteristic of serial killers’ childhoods consistent with numerous other studies and case reports.

Richard Ramirez is a cookie-cutter example of how neurological disease and childhood trauma have an enormous impact on the likelihood of extreme violence in adulthood

“It is important to acknowledge that neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorders(ASD) or head injury also occur in other violent criminals besides the extremely violent subgroup ‘serial killer’” (Allely, Clare S., et al 2014). “Significant head injury during childhood or prenatal years may result in a deformed prefrontal cortex or dysfunctions in dopamine and/or serotonin levels, thus, leading to a predisposition to serial killing”

The implications of blue light are all problems related to sleep, health and vision in the body.

  Blue light has many health risks including skin problems. “A chemical in the skin called flavin absorbs blue light”. When absorbed blue light “destroys collagen through stress”( Martin, Crystal).Other research has shown that premature wrinkles and hyperpigmentation is caused or formed by blue light exposure.  

ging and neurological problems are also another health risk. In another study Nash, T.R., Chow, E.S., Law, A.D. et al. found that “exposure to 12 hours of blue light per day accelerates aging,” and “neurodegeneration”. By accelerating neurodegeneration, blue light is shortening your life span. Neurodegeneration is a category of conditions in the brain such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

“Adolescence is a time of continued brain maturation, particularly in limbic and cortical regions, which undoubtedly plays a role in the physiological and emotional changes coincident with adolescence.”(Eiland) Eiland also states, “An emerging line of research has indicated that stressors experienced during this crucial developmental stage may affect the trajectory of this neural maturation and contribute to the increase in psychological morbidities, such as anxiety and depression, often observed during adolescence.”
