False Understanding of the Will

Some philosophers claim that some people are born biologically criminal by nature. They claim that it is impossible for these people to train their will or prevent themselves from committing crimes due to their genes, brain structure and similar reasons. 

This is not true. As a matter of fact, there are many who turn from the wrong path, regret their mistakes and become very righteous. 

As semi-savage people who used to bury their daughters alive during the Age of Ignorance and compete with each other in cruelty and injustice, were humbled by remorse for their old ways and they became dervish spirited figures with tearful eyes, full of compassion and mercy after being honored with guidance. 

Imam Ghazali says: 

“Man is like wax. He can be given the desired shape -positive or negative through training.”

If it was not possible to change some negative characteristics in human beings, there would be no such word as “training and education” in the dictionaries. 

Certainly, people who have physiological damage in their brain, such as mental illness or schizophrenia are not responsible and they will be excluded from the divine testing. But this situation is rare. 

While some philosophers claim that people who are deemed guilty in the eyes of society or religion commit crimes due to physiological reasons. 

In 19th century Europe, the Positivist Criminology school developed a view called “biological positivism”, which was based on Darwin and his famous “theory of evolution”. According to this; criminality is based on an abnormality in the perpetrator, and such persons are biologically inferior to normal humans. Such physically backward people will most likely commit crimes. (See Ali Emrah BOZBAYINDIR, Criminology. T.R. Anadolu University Publication. Eskişehir 2017; Füsun Sokullu AKINCI, Criminology, Beta Publication. Ist. 2017) 

Again, according to the Italian criminologist Lombrosso, who is based on the theory of evolution, most of the criminals are human types who are stuck in previous stages of evolution. (See Tülin Günşen İÇLİ, Criminology, Seçkin Pub. 2013)

According to Lombrosso, it is possible to distinguish a criminal by his appearance. In other words, criminals are more brutal than normal people who do not commit crimes, and this.

And this is not a correct idea.

Challenges Faced by Community Health Practitioners

Community health practitioners face various challenges in fulfilling their roles effectively, including resource constraints and training needs. One of the primary challenges is the lack of adequate funding and resources for healthcare facilities in many communities.
